We build the callsite graph by first adding nodes and edges for all allocation contexts, then match the interior callsite nodes onto actual calls (IR or summary), which due to inlining may result in the generation of new nodes representing the inlined context sequence. We attempt to update edges correctly during this process, but in the case of recursion this becomes impossible to always get correct. Specifically, when creating new inlined sequence nodes for stack ids on recursive cycles we can't always update correctly, because we have lost the original ordering of the context. This PR introduces a mechanism, guarded by -memprof-top-n-important= flag, to keep track of extra information for the largest N cold contexts. Another flag -memprof-fixup-important (enabled by default) will perform more expensive fixup of the edges for those largest N cold contexts, by saving and walking the original ordered list of stack ids from the context.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
