It provides the // building blocks on which to construct other experimental allocators and test // the validity of two principles: // // - If virtual and physical register liveness is modeled using intervals, then // on-the-fly interference checking is cheap. Furthermore, interferences can be // lazily cached and reused. // // - Register allocation complexity, and generated code performance is // determined by the effectiveness of live range splitting rather than optimal // coloring. // // Following the first principle, interfering checking revolves around the // LiveIntervalUnion data structure. // // To fulfill the second principle, the basic allocator provides a driver for // incremental splitting. It essentially punts on the problem of register // coloring, instead driving the assignment of virtual to physical registers by // the cost of splitting. The basic allocator allows for heuristic reassignment // of registers, if a more sophisticated allocator chooses to do that. // // This framework provides a way to engineer the compile time vs. code // quality trade-off without relying a particular theoretical solver. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #ifndef LLVM_CODEGEN_REGALLOCBASE #define LLVM_CODEGEN_REGALLOCBASE #include "llvm/ADT/OwningPtr.h" namespace llvm { template class SmallVectorImpl; class TargetRegisterInfo; class VirtRegMap; class LiveIntervals; class Spiller; // Heuristic that determines the priority of assigning virtual to physical // registers.
