[llvm-dev] count how many basic block executed

[Linhai Song via llvm-dev]

Hello everyone,


I am writing a pass to instrument program and count how many basic block executed. What I have tried is to instrument a local counter inside each function, add 1 to the local counter inside each basic block, and save the counter value to a global counter. The current runtime overhead is around 25%. Is there any way I can try to lower the overhead? Like keeping the local counter inside a register or applying the path profiling algorithm?


Thanks a lot!


Best,


                         Linhai
