+// Collector records sufficient information about a machine function to enable
+// accurate garbage collectors. Specifically:
+//
+// - Safe points
+// Garbage collection is only possible at certain points in code. Code
+// generators should record points:
+//
+// - At and after any call to a subroutine
+// - Before returning from the current function
+// - Before backwards branches (loops)
+//
+// - Roots
+// When a reference to a GC-allocated object exists on the stack, it must be
+// stored in an alloca registered with llvm.gcoot.
+//
+// This generic information should used by ABI-specific passes to emit support
+// tables for the runtime garbage collector.
+//
+// MachineCodeAnalysis identifies the GC safe points in the machine code. (Roots
+// are identified in SelectionDAGISel.)
