Problem Set 7: Liveness Analysis

Due Tuesday, 9 Apr 2013, 11:59pm

Overview:

The goal of this problem set is to learn about dataflow analysis and in particular, how to determine what variables are live at at a given program point. Ultimately, your job is to build an interference graph on variables, which has an edge between two variables x and y when there exists a program point p such that x and y are both live at p. The interference graph you construct will be used in Problem Set 8 to build the graph-coloring, coalescing register allocator.
