// This file implements lowering for the llvm.gc* intrinsics for targets that do
// not natively support them (which includes the C backend).  Note that the code
// generated is not as efficient as it would be for targets that natively
// support the GC intrinsics, but it is useful for getting new targets
// up-and-running quickly.
//
// This pass implements the code transformation described in this paper:
//   "Accurate Garbage Collection in an Uncooperative Environment"
//   Fergus Henderson, ISMM, 2002
