[llvm-dev] Is there a way to determine what CPU resource is used by which instruction?

[John Criswell via llvm-dev]

Dear Rail,

Can you clarify what you mean by "processor resource?"  Are you talking 
about architecture-visible state (like registers) or micro-architecture 
state (like ALUs) that are typically not visible at the ISA-level?

Regards,

John Criswell
