package org.graalvm.compiler.nodes.spi;

This interface allows a node to convey information about what its effect would be if some of its inputs were virtualized. The difference to Virtualizable is that the Virtualizable.virtualize(VirtualizerTool) method will be called regardless of whether this node had any interaction with virtualized nodes. This interface can therefore be used for object allocations, for which virtualization introduces new virtualized objects.
