+ * filename logic to the default behaviour.

+ * Note: There may be multiple copies of the profile runtime (one for each

+ * Warning: This is a no-op if continuous mode (\ref
+ * __llvm_profile_is_continuous_mode_enabled) is on. The reason for this is

+ * \brief this is a wrapper interface to \c __llvm_profile_write_file.
+ * After this interface is invoked, an already dumped flag will be set
+ * so that profile won't be dumped again during program exit.
+ * Invocation of interface __llvm_profile_reset_counters will clear
+ * the flag. This interface is designed to be used to collect profile
+ * data from user selected hot regions. The use model is
+ *      __llvm_profile_reset_counters();
+ *      ... hot region 1
+ *      __llvm_profile_dump();
+ *      .. some other code
+ *      __llvm_profile_reset_counters();
+ *      ... hot region 2
+ *      __llvm_profile_dump();
+ *
+ *  It is expected that on-line profile merging is on with \c %m specifier
+ *  used in profile filename . If merging is  not turned on, user is expected
+ *  to invoke __llvm_profile_set_filename  to specify different profile names
