+# Analyse beam_emu.s and try to find out the registers
+# used for the important variables in process_main().
+#
+# Works for .s files from clang or gcc. For gcc, the -fverbose-asm
+# option must be used.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# $ beam-emu-vars -vars 'c_p E HTOP FCALLS I reg freg' beam_emu.s
+# E: %r13
+# FCALLS: %rcx:98 %rax:88 16(%rsp):50 %rdi:6
+# HTOP: %r10:382 64(%rsp):88 72(%rsp):9 24(%rsp):7 %rcx:6 %r15:6 80(%rsp):3 88(%rsp):2
+# I: %rbx
+# c_p: %rbp
+# freg: 48(%rsp):11 %rcx:8 %rdi:5 %rax:4
+# reg: %r12
+#
+# That means that E, I, c_p, reg seems to be assigned to permanent registers.
+# HTOP seems to be assigned %r10, but it is saved to a scratch location
+# before any function calls. FCALLS and freg seems to be saved in a location on
+# the stack and loaded into a register when used.
+#
+# The exit status will be 0 if all variables are assigned to registers (most of
+# the time), and 1 if one or more variables are assigned to a stack location.
