[LLVMdev] Preserving ProfileInfo in Backend

[Andreas Neustifter]

Hi all,

after some work I finally am able to preserve the ProfileInfo in quite 
some passes. My first question is how to deal with this patch. I have 
touched quite some code, everywhere are scattered bits of "preserving 
code" and a quite some additions to the ProfileInfo-API.

I guess checking in the ProfileInfo part is not a problem, but how shall 
I proceed with all the code in the passes that preserves ProfileInfo?

Also I have converted the ProfileInfo to a template so that I can also 
store MachineFunction's and MachineBasicBlock's. That's quite a big 
patch that's only possible to check in at once, it touches only 
profiling code tough. How shall I check that in?

My Plan is to check in the API-Changes in ProfileInfo and make it ready 
for all the other little patches spread out in the code, then post this 
patches one by one on the mailing list for approval. Is this doable?
