[LLVMdev] Questions about Static Profile Estimator

[Mark Murphy]

I have been using ProfileEstimatorPass to provide some static ProfileInfo
information in order to do some optimizations, and I have a couple of
questions.

1. The estimator seems to be purely intra-procedural.  It starts new edge
and block weights at the beginning of every function.  Is there any existing
way to get this to produce a full program profile? 

2. I found the BranchProbabilityInfo file and saw that it has heuristics
that should produce a good static estimate.  Can BranchProbabilityInfo or
BlockFrequencyInfo be used to provide ProfileInfo data? 

Thanks for any help or guidance you can give me.
