- | Local variables are assigned volatile registers. However, if the live range of an SSA value incorporates a method call, a nonvolatile register has to be used. These will be assigned in decreasing order from R31/F31. As working registers volatile registers are used. If there are not enough of them, nonvolatiles (just below the locals) are assigned. \\ | ||
- | Optimization: | ||
- | For the translation of certain SSA instructions (e.g. of type long) further auxiliary registers are needed. They are assigned and reserved by the register allocator as well. If FPR's are needed for auxiliary registers, they are not reserved but F20..F22 will be used. They are exclusively used in compiler specific subroutines and never need saving. | ||
