This tutorial shows how to write a register allocator using the LLVM infrastructure, extending the RegAllocBase interface.

The tutorial have been writen using reStructuredText with the sphinx tool, the recommendations of the LLVM project have been followed (http://www.llvm.org/docs/SphinxQuickstartTemplate.html).
