Home stretch: Homework 8 is to read Chapter 11 of the text and write code to register-allocate the assembler you produced in Homework 6 using graph-coloring global (intra-procedural) register allocation.
As always, stick to the module structure given by the text. While coalescing and spilling are nominally required, they won't account for more than 10% of the grade for this assignment. Get the rest working first, because that last 10% is likely half the work.
You should submit
If some phase of your compiler is so broken that you cannot generate assembly code to test your register allocator on, I may be able to provide some example assembly files for you to try.
