[LLVMdev] speculative parallelization in LLVM

[Jimborean Alexandra]

I might need a switching mechanism a little bit more complicated to handle 
instrumentation, several parallel versions and the original version. And also, 
the "original"  version I send to Polly, is not the original one generated from 
the source code, but the one with pointers replaced with arrays.

But I will investigate the solution you propose, maybe I can adapt it and use it 
more easily, as it is already integrated in Polly.

Keeping the original version should be easy, as Polly always leaves both 
versions in the LLVM-IR.

At the moment we have

if (true)
  new_version
else
  old_version

You could just replace the true with your runtime check.
