+<p><i>Size matters</i> when constructing production quality tools using llvm, 
+both for the purposes of distribution, and for regulating the resident code size
+when running on the target system. Therefore, it becomes desirable to
+selectively use some passes, while omitting others and maintain the flexibility
+to change configurations later on. You want to be able to do all this, and,
+provide feedback to the user. This is where pass registration comes into
+play.</p>
+
+<p>The fundamental mechanisms for pass registration are the
+<tt>MachinePassRegistry</tt> class and subclasses of
+<tt>MachinePassRegistryNode</tt>.</p>
+
+<p>An instance of <tt>MachinePassRegistry</tt> is used to maintain a list of
+<tt>MachinePassRegistryNode</tt> objects.  This instance maintains the list and
+communicates additions and deletions to the command line interface.</p>
+
+<p>An instance of <tt>MachinePassRegistryNode</tt> subclass is used to maintain
+information provided about a particular pass.  This information includes the
+command line name, the command help string and the address of the function used
+to create an instance of the pass.  A global static constructor of one of these
+instances <i>registers</i> with a corresponding <tt>MachinePassRegistry</tt>,
+the static destructor <i>unregisters</i>. Thus a pass that is statically linked
+in the tool will be registered at start up. A dynamically loaded pass will

+
+<div class="doc_code"><pre>
+  static RegisterRegAlloc myRegAlloc("myregalloc",

+<p>And that's it.  The user is now free to use <tt>-regalloc=myregalloc</tt> as

+<tt>RegisterRegAlloc::FunctionPassCtor</tt>.</p>
+
