--- Comment #3 from Jeffrey A. Law <law at redhat dot com> ---
I suspect the prohibition against allocating registers in define_splits is tied
to the old requirement that we not allocate additional registers after
flow/combine (back when they were a unified pass).
Lots has changed since that text was written in the late 90s. I think your
updated text is a significant improvement.
No idea what Jan was trying to do with the second. You might ask him directly.
Hopefully he'll remember -- it was nearly 15 years ago when he wrote that
text.
