StackToRegisterMappingCogit maps values to machine registers when generating code,
while stack-based one uses stack for everything.

Guess that is what is meant.. 

Register based vms like Parrot will offer more info... As to motivation for this mapping

Hi Eliot,

Probably a stupid question but what's the difference between
SimpleStackBasedCogit and c?

SimpleStackBasedCogit maps values to machine registers when generating code,
while stack-based one uses stack for everything.

    new Cog VMs are available, SimpleStackBasedCogit @
http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2359/ and
StackToRegisterMappingCogit @
http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2361.  I think the new code
generator is ready for prime time now.  I fixed a number of bugs over
the past three weeks and we're now using the StackToRegisterMappingCogit
internally at Teleplace.
