 //===-- llvm/CodeGen/LiveVariables.h - Live Variable Analysis ---*- C++ -*-===//

+// This file implements the LiveVariable analysis pass.  For each machine
+// instruction in the function, this pass calculates the set of registers that
+// are immediately dead after the instruction (i.e., the instruction calculates
+// the value, but it is never used) and the set of registers that are used by
+// the instruction, but are never used after the instruction (i.e., they are
+// killed).

 // This class computes live variables using are sparse implementation based on
 // the machine code SSA form.  This class computes live variable information for
-// each virtual and physical register in a function.  It uses the dominance
-// properties of SSA form to efficiently compute live variables for virtual
-// registers, and assumes that physical registers are only live within a single
-// basic block (allowing it to do a single local analysis to resolve physical
-// register lifetimes in each basic block).
