Emit Garbage Collection (GC) metadata tables for stack params, stack locals, and register use.

tgiphil commented 1 day ago

Design Notes:

  1. Method SafePoints - contains the locations and metadata of all the garbage collection safepoints within a method
  2. SafePoints - contains information on which registers, and local stack locations hold object references
    • Optimization Opportunity: re-use safepoint metadata across multiple methods when the same to save space and improve cache locality
