[llvm] r224806 - LiveInterval: Introduce createMainRangeFromSubranges().

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for adding this new capability.

I made a few comments to ease readability of the whole code base, nothing correctness related. Feel free to fix them (or argue against them :P) whenever you have time.

Thanks,
-Quentin

Could be replaced by:
if (!Visited.insert(Pred).second)
  continue;

Add a message in the assert (even obvious one are useful :)).

Maybe add a comment saying that the EventMask covers the lanes that we will add in the main range for this iteration.
I think that having a comment on the purpose of the variable will help reading the code later on.

I would do a function for this loop so that the code is more compact. I think that would help the high level reading of the algorithm.

Maybe add a comment before this loop saying something along the line: Drop any segment that we already recorded in the main live-range. The invariant is anything ending before Pos is already in main live-range (unless I am mistaken of course :)).

Period at the end of the comment.

Create a sub function for this?
Something like applySegment perhaps?
I found that less critical for the reading though.
