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