- Subject: -fprofile-generate/-fprofile-use options
Hi,
at the present, if you want to use profile feedback you need to specify
-fprofile-arcs -fprofile-values -fvpt when profiling and -fbranch-probabilities
-fvpt and several of optimizations that mostly win with profile feedback such
as -funroll-loops, -fpeel-loops, -ftracer.
This is somewhat absurd and definitly prevents users from trying this out.
The attached patch adds -fprofile-generate and -fprofile-use that is similar to
what other compiler have.
Bootstrapped/regtested i386
Honza
* common.opt (fprofile-generate,fprofile-use): Add.
* gcc.c (LINK_COMMAND_SPEC): Arrange -fprofile-generate to imply -lgcov
* opts.c (profile_arc_flag_set, flag_profile_values_set,
flag_unroll_loops_set, flag_tracer_set,
flag_value_profile_transformations_set,
flag_peel_loops_set): New static variables.
(common_handle_option): Deal with -fprofile-generate/-fprofile-use
* invoke.texi (-fprofile-generate, -fprofile-use): Describe.
