Hello!


I wonder whether register allocation via graph coloring (improved by
Preston Briggs) is commonly better than iterative scan algortihm
(introduced by Alkis Evlogimenos). In what cases one is better than
the other? Are there some theoretical proofs of dominance of one of
the methods?


By being better I mean producing more efficient code with less register
spills.


Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
