9 // This file adds DWARF discriminators to the IR. Path discriminators are
10 // used to decide what CFG path was taken inside sub-graphs whose instructions
11 // share the same line and column number information.
13 // The main user of this is the sample profiler. Instruction samples are
14 // mapped to line number information. Since a single line may be spread
15 // out over several basic blocks, discriminators add more precise location
20 // 1 #define ASSERT(P)
25 // 101 ASSERT (sum < 0);
29 // when converted to IR, this snippet looks something like:
31 // while.body: ; preds = %entry, %if.end
32 // %0 = load i32* %sum, align 4, !dbg !15
33 // %cmp = icmp slt i32 %0, 0, !dbg !15
34 // br i1 %cmp, label %if.end, label %if.then, !dbg !15
36 // if.then: ; preds = %while.body
37 // call void @abort(), !dbg !15
38 // br label %if.end, !dbg !15
40 // Notice that all the instructions in blocks 'while.body' and 'if.then'
41 // have exactly the same debug information. When this program is sampled
42 // at runtime, the profiler will assume that all these instructions are
43 // equally frequent. This, in turn, will consider the edge while.body->if.then
44 // to be frequently taken (which is incorrect).
46 // By adding a discriminator value to the instructions in block 'if.then',
47 // we can distinguish instructions at line 101 with discriminator 0 from
48 // the instructions at line 101 with discriminator 1.
