     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.
