// This file contains a utility class, ValueProfileCollector, that is used to
// determine what kind of llvm::Value's are worth value-profiling, at which

// Currently, the only users of this utility is the PGOInstrumentation[Gen|Use]

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