using ReservedColorList in RegClass 7.1 Using ReservedColorList in RegClass
----------------------------------------
The register allocator allows reserving a set of registers - i.e. the reserved
registers are not used by the register allocator. Currently, there are no
reserved registers. It it is necessary to make some registers unavailable to
a particular method, this feature will become handy. To do that, the reserved
register list must be passed to the register allocator. See PhyRegAlloc.cpp
7.2 %g registers on Sparc
-------------------------
Currently, %g registers are not allocated on Sparc. If it is necessary to
allocate these %g registers, the enumeration of registers in SparcIntRegClass
in SparcRegClassInfo.h must be changed. %g registers can be easily added as
volatile registers just by moving them above in the eneumeration - see
SparcRegClassInfo.h
