RegisterAllocator

public RegisterAllocator(FlowGraph cfg,
 Liveness liveness)

Constructor. Builds an interference graph based on the expression nodes found in liveness. Traverses the graph and determines which nodes needs to be precolored and which nodes can be coalesced (move statements). Nodes are coalesced and local variables are assigned to expressions.
