9 // This file defines the RegAllocBase class, which is the skeleton of a basic
10 // register allocation algorithm and interface for extending it. It provides the
11 // building blocks on which to construct other experimental allocators and test
12 // the validity of two principles:
14 // - If virtual and physical register liveness is modeled using intervals, then
15 // on-the-fly interference checking is cheap. Furthermore, interferences can be
16 // lazily cached and reused.
18 // - Register allocation complexity, and generated code performance is
19 // determined by the effectiveness of live range splitting rather than optimal
22 // Following the first principle, interfering checking revolves around the
23 // LiveIntervalUnion data structure.
25 // To fulfill the second principle, the basic allocator provides a driver for
26 // incremental splitting. It essentially punts on the problem of register
27 // coloring, instead driving the assignment of virtual to physical registers by
28 // the cost of splitting. The basic allocator allows for heuristic reassignment
29 // of registers, if a more sophisticated allocator chooses to do that.
31 // This framework provides a way to engineer the compile time vs. code
32 // quality trade-off without relying on a particular theoretical solver.
