 // The functions in this file builds OopMaps after all scheduling is done.

 //

 // OopMaps contain a list of all registers and stack-slots containing oops (so

 // they can be updated by GC).  OopMaps also contain a list of derived-pointer

 // base-pointer pairs.  When the base is moved, the derived pointer moves to

 // follow it.  Finally, any registers holding callee-save values are also

 // recorded.  These might contain oops, but only the caller knows.

 //

 // BuildOopMaps implements a simple forward reaching-defs solution.  At each

 // GC point we'll have the reaching-def Nodes.  If the reaching Nodes are

 // typed as pointers (no offset), then they are oops.  Pointers+offsets are

 // derived pointers, and bases can be found from them.  Finally, we'll also

 // track reaching callee-save values.  Note that a copy of a callee-save value

 // "kills" it's source, so that only 1 copy of a callee-save value is alive at

 // a time.

 //

 // We run a simple bitvector liveness pass to help trim out dead oops.  Due to

 // irreducible loops, we can have a reaching def of an oop that only reaches

 // along one path and no way to know if it's valid or not on the other path.

 // The bitvectors are quite dense and the liveness pass is fast.

 //

 // At GC points, we consult this information to build OopMaps.  All reaching

 // defs typed as oops are added to the OopMap.  Only 1 instance of a

 // callee-save register can be recorded.  For derived pointers, we'll have to

 // find and record the register holding the base.

 //

 // The reaching def's is a simple 1-pass worklist approach.  I tried a clever

 // breadth-first approach but it was worse (showed O(n^2) in the

 // pick-next-block code).

 //

 // The relevant data is kept in a struct of arrays (it could just as well be

 // an array of structs, but the struct-of-arrays is generally a little more

 // efficient).  The arrays are indexed by register number (including

 // stack-slots as registers) and so is bounded by 200 to 300 elements in

 // practice.  One array will map to a reaching def Node (or NULL for

 // conflict/dead).  The other array will map to a callee-saved register or

 // OptoReg::Bad for not-callee-saved.
