     10 // This file adds DWARF discriminators to the IR. Path discriminators are
     11 // used to decide what CFG path was taken inside sub-graphs whose instructions
     12 // share the same line and column number information.
     13 //
     14 // The main user of this is the sample profiler. Instruction samples are
     15 // mapped to line number information. Since a single line may be spread
     16 // out over several basic blocks, discriminators add more precise location
     17 // for the samples.
     18 //
     19 // For example,
     20 //
     21 //   1  #define ASSERT(P)
     22 //   2      if (!(P))
     23 //   3        abort()
     24 //   ...
     25 //   100   while (true) {
     26 //   101     ASSERT (sum < 0);
     27 //   102     ...
     28 //   130   }
     29 //
     30 // when converted to IR, this snippet looks something like:
     31 //
     32 // while.body:                                       ; preds = %entry, %if.end
     33 //   %0 = load i32* %sum, align 4, !dbg !15
     34 //   %cmp = icmp slt i32 %0, 0, !dbg !15
     35 //   br i1 %cmp, label %if.end, label %if.then, !dbg !15
     36 //
     37 // if.then:                                          ; preds = %while.body
     38 //   call void @abort(), !dbg !15
     39 //   br label %if.end, !dbg !15
     40 //
     41 // Notice that all the instructions in blocks 'while.body' and 'if.then'
     42 // have exactly the same debug information. When this program is sampled
     43 // at runtime, the profiler will assume that all these instructions are
     44 // equally frequent. This, in turn, will consider the edge while.body->if.then
     45 // to be frequently taken (which is incorrect).
     46 //
     47 // By adding a discriminator value to the instructions in block 'if.then',
     48 // we can distinguish instructions at line 101 with discriminator 0 from
     49 // the instructions at line 101 with discriminator 1.

    109 /// To assign discriminators, we examine the boundaries of every
    110 /// basic block and its successors. Suppose there is a basic block B1
    111 /// with successor B2. The last instruction I1 in B1 and the first
    112 /// instruction I2 in B2 are located at the same file and line number.
    113 /// This situation is illustrated in the following code snippet:
    114 ///
    115 ///       if (i < 10) x = i;
    116 ///
    117 ///     entry:
    118 ///       br i1 %cmp, label %if.then, label %if.end, !dbg !10
    119 ///     if.then:
    120 ///       %1 = load i32* %i.addr, align 4, !dbg !10
    121 ///       store i32 %1, i32* %x, align 4, !dbg !10
    122 ///       br label %if.end, !dbg !10
    123 ///     if.end:
    124 ///       ret void, !dbg !12
    125 ///
    126 /// Notice how the branch instruction in block 'entry' and all the
    127 /// instructions in block 'if.then' have the exact same debug location
    128 /// information (!dbg !10).
    129 ///
    130 /// To distinguish instructions in block 'entry' from instructions in
    131 /// block 'if.then', we generate a new lexical block for all the
    132 /// instruction in block 'if.then' that share the same file and line
    133 /// location with the last instruction of block 'entry'.
    134 ///
    135 /// This new lexical block will have the same location information as
    136 /// the previous one, but with a new DWARF discriminator value.
    137 ///
    138 /// One of the main uses of this discriminator value is in runtime
    139 /// sample profilers. It allows the profiler to distinguish instructions
    140 /// at location !dbg !10 that execute on different basic blocks. This is
    141 /// important because while the predicate 'if (x < 10)' may have been
    142 /// executed millions of times, the assignment 'x = i' may have only
    143 /// executed a handful of times (meaning that the entry->if.then edge is
    144 /// seldom taken).
    145 ///
    146 /// If we did not have discriminator information, the profiler would
    147 /// assign the same weight to both blocks 'entry' and 'if.then', which
    148 /// in turn will make it conclude that the entry->if.then edge is very
    149 /// hot.
    150 ///
    151 /// To decide where to create new discriminator values, this function
    152 /// traverses the CFG and examines instruction at basic block boundaries.
    153 /// If the last instruction I1 of a block B1 is at the same file and line
    154 /// location as instruction I2 of successor B2, then it creates a new
    155 /// lexical block for I2 and all the instruction in B2 that share the same
    156 /// file and line location as I2. This new lexical block will have a
