Is there something I'm missing here? - Your patchpoint mechanism appears to be one very specialized use of a patchable location. Would you mind renaming it to something like patchablecall to reflect this specialization? Yours, Philip

This is a proposal for adding Stackmaps and Patchpoints to LLVM. The first client of these features is the JavaScript compiler within the open source WebKit project. A Stackmap is a record of variable locations (registers and stack offsets) at a particular instruction address. A Patchpoint is an instruction address at which space is reserved for patching a new instruction sequence at runtime.
