...ght need a way of representing call graph profiling in addition to the existing branch probabilities? FWIW, the greedy register allocator’s live range splitting algorithm is designed to consume profile information so it can push spill code into cold blocks. The primary interface is SpillPlacement::getBlockFrequency() which currently returns an estimate based on loop depth only. /jakob

I have started looking at the state of PGO (Profile Guided Optimization) in LLVM.**I want to discuss my high-level plan and make sure I'm not missing anything interesting out. I appreciate any feedback on this, pointers to existing work, patches and anything related to PGO in LLVM. I will be keeping changes to this plan in this web document
