llvm-prefer-register-over-unsigned
==================================

Finds historical use of ``unsigned`` to hold vregs and physregs and rewrites
them to use ``Register``.

Currently this works by finding all variables of unsigned integer type whose
initializer begins with an implicit cast from ``Register`` to ``unsigned``.

.. code-block:: c++

  void example(MachineOperand &MO) {
    unsigned Reg = MO.getReg();
    ...
  }

becomes:

.. code-block:: c++

  void example(MachineOperand &MO) {
    Register Reg = MO.getReg();
    ...
  }
