Register and Stack Allocation

Register and Stack Allocation

• Java doesn’t have registers
• local variables are not the same:
  • first 4 (R0-R3) have shorter manipulating instructions
  • first 64 can fit into the register set on UltraJavaTM
• operand stack should be used to shorten the bytecode sequence
  • solved in code generation for p-code
