All results of all SSA instructions have an assigned register. Now, each SSA instruction can be translated into one or a sequence of machine instructions. In order to do this, we must define the stackframe, which is used when calling a method. | All results of all SSA instructions have an assigned register.

The stack pointer always points to the top of the actual frame. At the top the stack pointer of the caller has to be stored. The back chain pointer is used for the debugger, for exceptions and for the garbage collection. | The stack pointer always points to the top of the actual frame.
