Hi Everybody,
As you may or may not know, I've been wrestling with the register allocation algorithm in the compiler for several months now.
I finally think that I have a working plan! This is written in high level pseudo-code in ucc/codegen/REG_ALLOC_PLAN in the source directory.
I would really like to do an old-fashioned review on this design before moving forward. And then after the review, I could sure use some help in getting it implemented.
There are currently 14,500 lines of python code in the compiler project, and this is the last major hill to climb in making the compiler work.
Please email me if you can lend a hand, and let me know what times are good for you. My schedule is flexible.
This is still a great opportunity to learn about compiler internals and an excellent opportunity to see what a simple, $4.30, 8-bit CPU looks like from the software perspective.

P.S. If you can not lend a hand now, I would still appreciate an email so that I know who is still paying attention. Thanks!
