I tried getting profile data from LLVM 3.1, using the method mentioned below. I tried it out on a simple matrix multiplication program. However, I noticed the following problems: 1. There is a warning message: "WARNING: profile information is inconsistent with the current program!" 2. The basic block counts (obtained from ProfileInfo::getExecutionCount(const BasicBlock*)) are

Profile data really needs to be loaded at a module level, but once this has been done it can be accessed at any level (including function). In LLVM

Thanks Alastair. Is it possible to associate the branch frequency counts with the basic blocks in the intermediate representation? (e.g. Can I access basic block frequencies in runOnFunction()?) Also, I was able to produce a 'llvmprof.out' file. What is the format of this file? How can I parse it? Thanks. -Apala > > > On 09/07/2012 01:25 PM, Alastair Murray wrote: >

Hi Apala, Dibyendu is correct that this is likely due to pass order, but things get a bit complicated with -O[1-9] or -std-compile-opts as they insert early passes *before* the profiling code. I recommend that you use identical optimizations to insert instrumentation and to load the profiling data. E.g.: opt -insert-edge-profiling -O3 foo.bc -o foo.2.bc opt -profile-loader -O3 foo.bc

Thanks everyone for the replies. After some experimentation, I found that the order in which the passes are specified matters: opt -O3 -profile-loader matmult.bc -o matmult.opt.bc (works) opt -profile-loader -O3 matmult.bc -o matmult.opt.bc (does not work) Also, I am able to avoid the inconsistency warning only for optimization levels -O3 and -O2. I get that warning when using -O1 and

Can we not run the -insert-edge-profiling and -profile-loader passes at the beginning of the opt? Orthogonal point is, is it worth doing any optimizations when -insert-edge-profiling is specified on command line? -Prashantha -----Original Message----- From: llvmdev-bounces at cs.uiuc.edu [mailto:llvmdev-bounces at cs.uiuc.edu] On Behalf Of Alastair Murray Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2012

Another issue is with ProfileInfo::getExecutionCount(Function* F). Looking at the source code and results, I am seeing that it always returns the execution count of the entry basic block of the function. If the entry basic block is part of a loop, its execution count does not match the function invocation count. Is my assumption wrong, that ProfileInfo::getExecutionCount(Function* F) is
