  21 /* A debug counter provides you a way to count an event
  22    and return false after the counter has exceeded the threshold
  23    specified by the option.
  24
  25    What is it used for ?
  26
  27    This is primarily used to speed up the search for the bad transformation
  28    an optimization pass does. By doing a binary search on N,
  29    you can quickly narrow down to one transformation
  30    which is bad, or which triggers the bad behavior downstream
  31    (usually in the form of the badly generated code).
  32
  33    How does it work ?
  34
  35    Every time dbg_cnt(named-counter) is called,
  36    the counter is incremented for the named-counter.
  37    And the incremented value is compared against the threshold (limit)
  38    specified by the option.
  39    dbg_cnt () returns true if it is at or below threshold, and false if above.
  40
  41    How to add a new one ?
  42
  43    To add a new counter, simply add an entry below with some descriptive name,
  44    and add call(s) to dbg_cnt(your-counter-name) in appropriate places.
  45    Usually, you want to control at the finest granularity
  46    any particular transformation can happen.
  47    e.g. for each instruction in a dead code elimination,
  48    or for each copy instruction in register coalescing,
  49    or constant-propagation for each insn,
  50    or a block straightening, etc.
  51    See dce.cc for an example. With the dbg_cnt () call in dce.cc,
  52    now a developer can use -fdbg-cnt=dce:N
  53    to stop doing the dead code elimination after N times.
  54
  55    How to use it ?
  56
  57    By default, all limits are UINT_MAX.
  58    Since debug count is unsigned int, <= UINT_MAX returns true always.
  59    i.e.  dbg_cnt() returns true always regardless of the counter value
  60    (although it still counts the event).
  61    Use -fdbg-cnt=counter1:N,counter2:M,...
  62    which sets the limit for counter1 to N, and the limit for counter2 to M, etc.
  63    e.g. setting a limit to zero will make dbg_cnt () return false *always*.
  64
  65    The following shell file can then be used to binary search for
  66    exact transformation that causes the bug.  A second shell script
  67    should be written, say "tryTest", which exits with 1 if the
  68    compiled program fails and exits with 0 if the program succeeds.
  69    This shell script should take 1 parameter, the value to be passed
  70    to set the counter of the compilation command in tryTest.  Then,
  71    assuming that the following script is called binarySearch,
  72    the command:
  73
  74         binarySearch tryTest
  75
  76    will automatically find the highest value of the counter for which
  77    the program fails.  If tryTest never fails, binarySearch will
  78    produce unpredictable results as it will try to find an upper bound
  79    that does not exist.
  80
  81    When dbgcnt does hits the limit, it writes a comment in the current
  82    dump_file of the form:
  83
  84        ***dbgcnt: limit reached for %s.***
  85
  86    Assuming that the dump file is logging the analysis/transformations
  87    it is making, this pinpoints the exact position in the log file
  88    where the problem transformation is being logged.
