10 // The MachineConstantPool class keeps track of constants referenced by a
11 // function which must be spilled to memory. This is used for constants which
12 // are unable to be used directly as operands to instructions, which typically
13 // include floating point and large integer constants.
15 // Instructions reference the address of these constant pool constants through
16 // the use of MO_ConstantPoolIndex values. When emitting assembly or machine
17 // code, these virtual address references are converted to refer to the
18 // address of the function constant pool values.
