  29. /// Value profiling an expression means to track the values that this expression
  30. /// takes at runtime and the frequency of each value.
  31. /// It is important to distinguish between two sets of value profiles for a
  32. /// particular expression:
  33. /// 1) The set of values at the point of evaluation.
  34. /// 2) The set of values at the point of use.
  35. /// In some cases, the two sets are identical, but it's not unusual for the two
  36. /// to differ.
  37. ///
  38. /// To elaborate more, consider this C code, and focus on the expression `nn`:
  39. /// void foo(int nn, bool b) {
  40. /// if (b) memcpy(x, y, nn);
  41. /// }
  42. /// The point of evaluation can be as early as the start of the function, and
  43. /// let's say the value profile for `nn` is:
  44. /// total=100; (value,freq) set = {(8,10), (32,50)}
  45. /// The point of use is right before we call memcpy, and since we execute the
  46. /// memcpy conditionally, the value profile of `nn` can be:
  47. /// total=15; (value,freq) set = {(8,10), (4,5)}
  48. ///
  49. /// For this reason, a plugin is responsible for computing the insertion point
  50. /// for each value to be profiled. The `CandidateInfo` structure encapsulates
  51. /// all the information needed for each value profile site.
