Assertion (A): A simple code generator stores live values to memory at the end of each basic block.
Reason (R): Control may enter the next block from a different predecessor, so no assumption about register contents survives the boundary.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism, and it also explains why global allocation does better. An allocator working over the whole flow graph can keep a value in a register across blocks and avoid the traffic entirely.
