By live intervals, we mean the range in which a variable is live, that is, from the point where a variable is defined to its last use. For this, we need to calculate the set of registers that are immediately dead after the instruction (the last use of a variable), and the set of registers that are used by the instruction but not after the instruction. We calculate live variable information for each virtual register and physical register in the function. Using SSA to sparsely compute the lifetime information for the virtual registers enables us to ...
