Splitting a range at an instruction position can lead to incorrect code generation. See the attached bug for a concrete example of that, in particular comment 6. The issue is when we add a gap move to connect the split ranges during the ConnectLiveRanges phase. If the split position is a gap position, the move coincides with the start of the range. But if the split position is an instruction position, the move is inserted in the last gap position, which is outside of the range. This violates assumptions made during the main register allocation phase and can invalidate the use of that register in a different range. The fix proposed here works by moving the split position backwards to the previous gap position. This ensures that the connecting gap move is always at the start of the range that it defines.
