Hi
I don't think the register allocater is being rewritten so much as it is being written:
From talking to Ben, who rewrote the register allocator over the summer, he said that the new graph based register allocator is pretty good. The thing that is holding it back is the CPS conversion bit, which was also being rewritten over the summer, but didn't get finished. I think these are both things which are likely to be done for 6.10.
Thanks Neil
