[Firm] List of Algorithms used in libFIRM

[Sebastian Buchwald]

Hi Jake,

ist es nicht sinnvoller dem Go-Compiler ein neues Backend zu verpassen?

Die Go-Leute verwenden seit dem letzten Release ein SSA-basiertes 
Backend für amd64, und wollen jetzt auch die anderen Backends auf SSA 
umstellen.

Um deine Frage zu beantworten:
* SSA construction ->

* (SSA-based) Register allocation -> 
http://pp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de/publication.php?id=hack06cc
   * Spilling -> 
http://pp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de/publication.php?id=braun09cc
   * Copy coalescing -> 
http://pp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de/publication.php?id=hack08pldi (default), 
http://pp.info.uni-karlsruhe.de/publication.php?id=braun10cc,

Falls du noch Fragen hast, wendest du dich am besten an unseren 
IRC-Channel #firm (Freenode).

Grüße,
Sebastian
