The following constraints may need to be resolved during spilling
because the resolution increases register pressure:
- A tied operand whose value is live through the instruction.
- A fixed register constraint for a value used more than once.
- A register use of a spilled value needs to account for the reload
register.
Function arguments that don't fit in registers are passed on the stack.
Create "incoming_arg" stack slots representing the stack arguments, and
assign them to the value arguments during spilling.
As soon as a value is spilled, also assign it to a spill slot.
For now, create a new spill slot for each spilled value. In the future,
values will be sharing spill slots of they are phi-related.
An instruction may have fixed operand constraints that make it
impossibly to use a single register value to satisfy two at a time.
Detect when the same value is used for multiple fixed register operands
and insert copies during the spilling pass.
Add a spilling pass which lowers register pressure by assigning SSA
values to the stack. Important missing features:
- Resolve conflicts where an instruction uses the same value more than
once in incompatible ways.
- Deal with EBB arguments.
Fix bugs in the reload pass exposed by the first test case:
- Create live ranges for temporary registers.
- Set encodings on created spill and fill instructions.
