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. // // GCSafePointPass identifies the GC safe points in the machine code.
