//
// The LiveRegMatrix analysis pass keeps track of virtual register interference
// along two dimensions: Slot indexes and register units. The matrix is used by
// register allocators to ensure that no interfering virtual registers get
// assigned to overlapping physical registers.
//
// Register units are defined in MCRegisterInfo.h, they represent the smallest
// unit of interference when dealing with overlapping physical registers. The
// LiveRegMatrix is represented as a LiveIntervalUnion per register unit. When
// a virtual register is assigned to a physical register, the live range for
// the virtual register is inserted into the LiveIntervalUnion for each regunit
// in the physreg.
