1 | These are tests for instrumentation based profiling. This specifically means |
2 | the -fprofile-instr-generate and -fprofile-instr-use driver flags. |
3 | |
4 | Tests in this directory should usually test both: |
5 | |
6 | - the generation of instrumentation (-fprofile-instr-generate), and |
7 | - the use of profile data from instrumented runs (-fprofile-instr-use). |
8 | |
9 | In order to test -fprofile-instr-use without actually running an instrumented |
10 | program, .profdata files are checked into Inputs/. |
11 | |
12 | The input source files must include a main function such that building with |
13 | -fprofile-instr-generate and running the resulting program generates the same |
14 | .profdata file that is consumed by the tests for -fprofile-instr-use. Even |
15 | tests that only check -fprofile-instr-use should include such a main function, |
16 | so that profile data can be regenerated as the .profdata file format evolves. |
