[llvm-dev] How can I tell llvm, that a branch is preferred ?

If I read the llvm language correctly, it doesn't have a way to specify
the preferred branch, correct ? I see nothing in the specs for "branch"
or "switch". And __buildin_expect does nothing, that I am sure of.
Unfortunately llvm has this knack for ordering my one most crucial part
of code exactly the opposite I want to, it does: (x86_64)
cmpq %r15, (%rax,%rdx)
jne LBB0_3
Ltmp18:
leaq 8(%rax,%rdx), %rcx
jmp LBB0_4
LBB0_3:
addq $8, %rcx
LBB0_4:
when I want,
cmpq %r15, (%rax,%rdx)
jeq LBB0_3
addq $8, %rcx
jmp LBB0_4
LBB0_3:
leaq 8(%rax,%rdx), %rcx
LBB0_4:
since that saves me executing a jump 99.9% of the time. Is there
anything I can do ?
Ciao
Nat!
