[llvm-dev] LNT server function perf profile comparison

[Kristof Beyls via llvm-dev]

Hi Felix,

This is not really expected behaviour.
Are you getting "0" for all instructions, or only for some where you didn't
expect it?
Are you sure the function you show in the screenshot actually still gets
called in the transformed program?

FWIW and orthogonally - I'd recommend using the View: "Control-Flow Graph
(X86-64)". That way, you'll get counters aggregated per basic block, which
removes a bit some of the confusion that can result when perf associates
events with an instruction a number of instructions removed from the
instruction causing the event you were measuring.

Hoping this helps a little,

Kristof
