9 // This analysis computes the optimal spill code placement between basic blocks.
10 //
11 // The runOnMachineFunction() method only precomputes some profiling information
12 // about the CFG. The real work is done by prepare(), addConstraints(), and
13 // finish() which are called by the register allocator.
14 //
15 // Given a variable that is live across multiple basic blocks, and given
16 // constraints on the basic blocks where the variable is live, determine which
17 // edge bundles should have the variable in a register and which edge bundles
18 // should have the variable in a stack slot.
19 //
20 // The returned bit vector can be used to place optimal spill code at basic
21 // block entries and exits. Spill code placement inside a basic block is not
22 // considered.
