DISCLAIMER: These notes are from the defunct k8 project which precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26! The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it.

I will need a callback, and I can use lamdas for that to determine the location of where to put registers and such. I will need a double back and forth reference for free registers based on their usage states. However such a structure would be complex. However since the Native register knows its own usages, it can determine it as such.

The ASMRegister.Usage is terrible, it should have no integer and float specifics and instead just have type storage to specificy which values can go where. That would be much cleaner also. I can also remove the volatile sense since the calling convention is caller saved when used. Mid-operand temporary work can be system defined as needed although with a special note.

I am also thinking of removing the library arguments also, since those can just use the preexisting calling convention, although that means saving a bunch of registers to call an internal allocation method.

Thought my register word multiplier was going to be trouble between float and integer, but I remember that I have separated floating and integer bits.

I have enhanced concentration now, just hope I can put it to work.

Register usages must be a set.

Got basic register allocation work going however, but it is time for sleep.

This silly logical error of getting registers allocated multiple times was due to not setting the place where the entry (register) is allocated to. So that is fixed.
