What's the difference between "Register" and "SomeRegister"?

I'm a bit confused here, why is this "1"?

SomeRegister is a constraint requesting that the value ends up in a register.  It means that it can end up with any register that matches the value's type (GPR for int, FPR for double).

A Check is a stackmap, so it must provide a ValueRep for each operand. The ValueRep only needs to be valid on the path where the Check "failed", i.e. its predicate was true. By convention, if you do:

Check(x, y)

Then we claim that x's value was 1.  Note that y is optional.  For y, we will provide an actual value recovery.

The reason why we don't provide an honest recovery of x is that it's not actually useful for most users of Check, and it just so happens to 1 is kind of correct.
