/** @file register_allocate.c
 *
 * Graph-coloring register allocator.
 *
 * The basic idea of graph coloring is to make a node in a graph for
 * every thing that needs a register (color) number assigned, and make
 * edges in the graph between nodes that interfere (can't be allocated
 * to the same register at the same time).
 *
 * During the "simplify" process, any any node with fewer edges than
 * there are registers means that that edge can get assigned a
 * register regardless of what its neighbors choose, so that node is
 * pushed on a stack and removed (with its edges) from the graph.
 * That likely causes other nodes to become trivially colorable as well.
 *
 * Then during the "select" process, nodes are popped off of that
 * stack, their edges restored, and assigned a color different from
 * their neighbors.  Because they were pushed on the stack only when
 * they were trivially colorable, any color chosen won't interfere
 * with the registers to be popped later.
 *
 * The downside to most graph coloring is that real hardware often has
 * limitations, like registers that need to be allocated to a node in
 * pairs, or aligned on some boundary.  This implementation follows
 * the paper "Retargetable Graph-Coloring Register Allocation for
 * Irregular Architectures" by Johan Runeson and Sven-Olof Nyström.
 *
 * In this system, there are register classes each containing various
 * registers, and registers may interfere with other registers.  For
 * example, one might have a class of base registers, and a class of
 * aligned register pairs that would each interfere with their pair of
 * the base registers.  Each node has a register class it needs to be
 * assigned to.  Define p(B) to be the size of register class B, and
 * q(B,C) to be the number of registers in B that the worst choice
 * register in C could conflict with.  Then, this system replaces the
 * basic graph coloring test of "fewer edges from this node than there
 * are registers" with "For this node of class B, the sum of q(B,C)
 * for each neighbor node of class C is less than pB".
 *
 * A nice feature of the pq test is that q(B,C) can be computed once
 * up front and stored in a 2-dimensional array, so that the cost of
 * coloring a node is constant with the number of registers.  We do
 * this during ra_set_finalize().
