...virtual registers in the first place. Unfortunately, there do not seem to be any documentation (or even existing back-ends) using this approach. For the stack slot approach, what exactly are the semantics of the foldMemoryOperandImpl method? And how does it relate to the storeRegToStackSlot and readRegFromStackSlot methods?
