the mailing list. Suggestions for other statistics to collect would be
awesome. =]

Currently these are implemented as a separate pass guarded by a separate
flag. I'm not thrilled by that, but I wanted to be able to collect the
statistics for the old code placement as well as the new in order to
have a point of comparison. I'm planning on folding them into the single
pass if / when there is only one pass of interest.

block frequency analyses. This differs substantially from the existing
block-placement pass in LLVM:

1) It operates on the Machine-IR in the CodeGen layer. This exposes much
   more (and more precise) information and opportunities. Also, the
   results are more stable due to fewer transforms ocurring after the
   pass runs.
2) It uses the generalized probability and frequency analyses. These can
   model static heuristics, code annotation derived heuristics as well
   as eventual profile loading. By basing the optimization on the
   analysis interface it can work from any (or a combination) of these
   inputs.
3) It uses a more aggressive algorithm, both building chains from tho
   bottom up to maximize benefit, and using an SCC-based walk to layout
   chains of blocks in a profitable ordering without O(N^2) iterations
   which the old pass involves.

The pass is currently gated behind a flag, and not enabled by default
because it still needs to grow some important features. Most notably, it
needs to support loop aligning and careful layout of loop structures
much as done by hand currently in CodePlacementOpt. Once it supports
these, and has sufficient testing and quality tuning, it should replace
both of these passes.

Thanks to Nick Lewycky and Richard Smith for help authoring & debugging
this, and to Jakob, Andy, Eric, Jim, and probably a few others I'm
forgetting for reviewing and answering all my questions. Writing
a backend pass is *sooo* much better now than it used to be. =D

This analysis is going to run immediately after LiveIntervals. It will stay
alive during register allocation and keep track of user variables mentioned in
DBG_VALUE instructions.

When the register allocator is moving values between registers and the stack, it
is very hard to keep track of DBG_VALUE instructions. We usually get it wrong.
This analysis maintains a data structure that makes it easy to update DBG_VALUE
instructions.

Get rid of static constructors for pass registration.  Instead, every pass exposes an initializeMyPassFunction(), which
must be called in the pass's constructor.  This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.

Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes.  Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.

I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin.  It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options.  If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.
