Ran out of registers error in llc

[Quentin Colombet]

Hi Danna,

I haven’t look yet at all your inputs, but the MachineInstr dump for bugpoint.txt looks suspicious.
Let me take an example:
BB#0: derived from LLVM BB %entry
    Live Ins: %R0 %R1 %R2 %R11 %LR
	%R4<def> = MOVr %R0, pred:14, pred:%noreg, opt:%noreg
	%R7<def> = MOVr %R1, pred:14, pred:%noreg, opt:%noreg
	%R8<def> = MOVr %R2, pred:14, pred:%noreg, opt:%noreg
	%R9<def> = MOVr %R3, pred:14, pred:%noreg, opt:%noreg        <— R3 is not live in nor defined before being used
	%R10<def> = MOVr %R11, pred:14, pred:%noreg, opt:%noreg
	%R5<def> = SUBrr %R5, %R5, pred:14, pred:%noreg, opt:%noreg   <— Same for R5

My questions are the following:
1. When does your pass run?
2. Have you checked that the produced MachineInstr IR is valid (by running the verifier after your pass)?

Let us first solve the verifier issues, then we will see if the register allocator is at fault.

Thanks,
-Quentin
