Topic: ✔ Regalloc2 Question

Hi, I have a quick question about regalloc2. The library operates over VReg structures however there seems to be no way to specify a bitwidth in VReg.

I want to use regalloc2 to do register allocation for me in my IR. However I can specify bitwidth of virtual registers in my IR and i want to convey that to regalloc2.

How can regalloc2 do register allocation on different sized registers...?

If i build a MachineEnv for x86 would i only specify the full width registers and then the register allocator would allow me to use the full width of the register?
