Description Alex Christensen 2014-06-12 17:52:35 PDT
The register allocator should not use a hash set for the few registers it keeps track of.  It should use a deque to cycle the register usage, and it should also have a way to indicate a preferred register to allocate.

Very neat! I love it.

I think you should put this assertion one line above. Otherwise it looks a little weird accessing the first element before checking if the size is valid.

registerID -> preferedRegisterID?

> Source/WebCore/cssjit/RegisterAllocator.h:115
> +        UNUSED_PARAM(registerID);

Forgot this?

> Source/WebCore/cssjit/RegisterAllocator.h:133
> +        for (auto reg : m_registers)

reg -> register
