I noticed that clang doesn't honor -fgenerate-profile flag, would it make
sense to hook it up to do -fprofile-arcs ? According to gcc,
-fprofile-generate enables 3 options;

 -fprofile-arcs (clang has this already)

 -fprofile-values

If combined with -fprofile-arcs, it adds code so that some data about
values of expressions in the program is gathered.

 -fvpt

If combined with -fprofile-arcs, it instructs the compiler to add a code to
gather information about values of expressions.


I am not sure where does last 2 options map in llvm world.
