static bool better_p ( )

   Return true if E1 is more frequent than E2.  
     This is needed to avoid changes in the decision after
     CFG is modified.

   This pass performs the tail duplication needed for superblock formation.

   Unlike Compaq's implementation we don't do the loop peeling as most
   probably a better job can be done by a special pass and we don't
   need to worry too much about the code size implications as the tail
   duplicates are crossjumped again if optimizations are not
   performed.  
static int count_insns ( )
static
   Return number of instructions in the block.

static edge find_best_predecessor ( basic_block  )
static
static edge find_best_predecessor ( )
static
   Return most frequent predecessor of basic block BB.  
static edge find_best_successor ( basic_block  )
static
static edge find_best_successor ( )
static
   Return most frequent successor of basic block BB.  
static int find_trace ( basic_block  ,

)
static
static int find_trace ( )
static
   Find the trace using bb and record it in the TRACE array.
   Return number of basic blocks recorded.  
     Follow the trace in forward direction.

static bool ignore_bb_p ( const_basic_block  )
static
static bool ignore_bb_p ( )
static
   Return true if we should ignore the basic block for purposes of tracing.  
     A transaction is a single entry multiple exit region.  It must be
     duplicated in its entirety or not at all.

static void mark_bb_seen ( )
inlinestatic
static bool tail_duplicate ( )
static
   Look for basic blocks in frequency order, construct traces and tail duplicate
   if profitable.  
     Create an oversized sbitmap to reduce the chance that we need to
     resize it.  
                 We have the tendency to duplicate the loop header
                 of all do { } while loops.  Do not do that - it is
                 not profitable and it might create a loop with multiple
                 entries or at least rotate the loop.  
                 Reconsider the original copy of block we've duplicated.
                 Removing the most common predecessor may make it to be
                 head.  
             In case the trace became infrequent, stop duplicating.  
static unsigned int tracer ( )
static
   Main entry point to this file.  
     Trace formation is done on the fly inside tail_duplicate 
         If we changed the CFG schedule loops for fixup by cleanup_cfg.
