when an implicitely defined register is later used by an alias. For example:

         call foo
         %reg1024 = mov %AL

The call implicitely defines EAX but only AL is used. Before this fix
no information was available on AL. Now EAX and all its aliases except
AL get defined and die at the call instruction whereas AL lives to be
killed by the assignment.

which denotes the register we would like to be assigned to (virtual or
physical). In register allocation, if this hint exists and we can map
it to a physical register (it is either a physical register or it is a
virtual register that already got assigned to a physical one) we use
that register if it is available instead of a random one in the free
pool.

with live intervals was missing registers that were used before they
were defined (in the arbitrary order live intervals numbers

nesting level when computing it. Right now the allocator uses:

instruction pass. This also fixes all remaining bugs for this new
allocator to pass all tests under test/Programs.

killing instruction is tracked. This causes the LiveIntervals to
create bogus intervals. The workaound is to add a range to the
interval from the redefinition to the end of the basic block.

Move some of the longer LiveIntervals::Interval method out of the
header and add debug information to them. Fix bug and simplify range
merging code.

    a) remove opIsUse(), opIsDefOnly(), opIsDefAndUse()
    b) add isUse(), isDef()
    c) rename opHiBits32() to isHiBits32(),
              opLoBits32() to isLoBits32(),
              opHiBits64() to isHiBits64(),
              opLoBits64() to isLoBits64().

This results to much more readable code, for example compare
"op.opIsDef() || op.opIsDefAndUse()" to "op.isDef()" a pattern used
very often in the code.

Merging the linear scan register allocator in trunk. It currently passes most tests under test/Programs/SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout so development will continue on trunk. The allocator is not enabled by default. You will need to pass -regallo=linearscan to lli or llc to use it.
