[llvm-dev] Live range priority in Greedy RA

[Dangeti Tharun kumar via llvm-dev]

Hi,

I had a look at this  'calculateSpillWeightAndHint' function, spill weights
are being calculated considering no of uses, defs, loops etc.
Why not these weights be used as priority, seems they are good enough to
serve as priority, instead doing it by their sizes?
