# Register Allocation Skill
## Overview
Expert skill for register allocation algorithms including graph coloring, linear scan, and spill code generation.
## Capabilities
- Implement graph coloring register allocation
- Implement linear scan register allocation
- Generate spill code with minimal overhead
- Handle calling convention register constraints
- Implement register coalescing
- Handle pre-colored nodes and fixed registers
- Implement live range splitting
- Design register pressure analysis
## Target Processes
- jit-compiler-development.js
- code-generation-llvm.js
- bytecode-vm-implementation.js
## Dependencies
None (algorithmic skill)
## Usage Guidelines
1. **Algorithm Selection**: Use linear scan for JIT (fast), graph coloring for AOT (optimal)
2. **Live Ranges**: Compute accurate live ranges before allocation
3. **Spill Costs**: Use heuristics to minimize spill costs (loop depth, usage frequency)
4. **Calling Conventions**: Handle caller/callee-saved registers correctly
5. **Coalescing**: Implement aggressive coalescing to reduce moves
