Hi Fernando,

This looks quite useful. Do you think you can incorporate the code  
output the debugging info in smira to tot?

Also, it seems to make more sense to dump the info at the end of the  
register allocation pass. Is there any particular reason for you to  
add it to the spiller instead?

Thanks,

Evan
