[LLVMdev] how to get path profile information ?

[#ALOK PRAKASH#]

What version of LLVM are you using? The profiling framework is completely messed up in the newer versions of LLVM.. I used to work with profiling in 2.5 some time ago, and it seemed to work fine.. If you really need this to work quickly, you might want to just get the old version and get on with it..

The newer versions of LLVM need to get the profiling part fixed soon..It is messing up my work as well..I am trying to fix it now.. If you could give me the exact details of the error and your steps, I might be able to work it out...

Cheers,
Alok

Dear all,

I have already checked some related posted messages, such as:

http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2008-January/012315.html and
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2008-February/012466.html

After getting rid of some error messages, I was able to run the following commands:

1) opt -insert-path-profiling matmul.bc -o matmul.pp.bc
2) lli -load ../llvm_build/Debug+Asserts/lib/libprofile_rt.so matmul.pp.bc (generates llvmprof.out file)

and as a last command:
3) opt -path-profile-loader -profile-info-file=llvmprof.out matmul.pp.bc -analyze

which provides the following output:

Printing analysis 'Load path profile information from file':
Pass::print not implemented for pass: 'Path Profiling Information Loader'!

After trying several options, this is where i was able to reach, but still it does not provide what i need.

I am a bit confused about which commands to apply and in which order and with which parameters.
Maybe someone who is already using path profiling can provide me some useful information.

Thanks in advance.
Erkan.
