Subject: Change the way we choose a free register: instead of picking the first
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=70619fae28414db54e00be2f9052a66cd245a9c8;p=oota-llvm.git

Change the way we choose a free register: instead of picking the first
free allocatable register, we prefer the a free one with the most uses
of inactive intervals.
