//
// Collector records sufficient information about a machine function to enable
// accurate garbage collectors. Specifically:
// 
// - Safe points
//   Garbage collection is only possible at certain points in code. Code
//   generators should record points:
//
//     - At and after any call to a subroutine
//     - Before returning from the current function
//     - Before backwards branches (loops)
// 
// - Roots
//   When a reference to a GC-allocated object exists on the stack, it must be
//   stored in an alloca registered with llvm.gcoot.
//
// This generic information should used by ABI-specific passes to emit support
// tables for the runtime garbage collector.
//
// MachineCodeAnalysis identifies the GC safe points in the machine code. (Roots
// are identified in SelectionDAGISel.)
