Hi, I have a question regarding PGO. I collected profile data with the instrumentation build (-fprofile-instr-generate) and provided for PGO optimization in the second build (with -fprofile-instr-use=xxx.profdata). This works fine. Then I tried to provide the profile data to opt using the option -pgo-instr-use, but this causes an error with the message: "Not an IR level instrumentation

Hello, I have a question regarding PGO instrumented BBs (I use IR-level instrumentation). It seems that instrumented BBs do not match between the two compilations for profile-gen and profile-use for some cases. Here is an example from SPECcpu 2006 lbm (a simple case consisting of just two modules). In the first compilation, we have 5 instrumentation points for the main function as follows: $

Hi, I am working to improve SROA to generate better code when a method has a struct in its arguments. I would appreciate it if I could have any suggestions or comments on how I can best proceed with this optimization. * Problem * I observed that LLVM often generates redundant instructions around glibc’s istreambuf_iterator. The problem comes from the scalar replacement (SROA) for methods with an
