Ok for google branch with minor changes below.

thanks,

Using upper case for macro?

int --> gcov_type

int --> gcov_type

Some heuristics can probably be developed to make better split of the
default probability and value range information can be used. For
instance, if the case values are from an enum and the gaps between two
enumerators are defined, then the preceding conditional jump should
have get 100% of the default probability. This can be enhanced later.

Why resetting it to 0?
