// This file adds DWARF discriminators to the IR. Path discriminators are
// used to decide what CFG path was taken inside sub-graphs whose instructions
// share the same line and column number information.
//
// The main user of this is the sample profiler. Instruction samples are
// mapped to line number information. Since a single line may be spread
// out over several basic blocks, discriminators add more precise location
// for the samples.
//
// For example,
//
//   1  #define ASSERT(P)
//   2      if (!(P))
//   3        abort()
//   ...
//   100   while (true) {
//   101     ASSERT (sum < 0);
//   102     ...
//   130   }
//
// when converted to IR, this snippet looks something like:
//
// while.body:                                       ; preds = %entry, %if.end
//   %0 = load i32* %sum, align 4, !dbg !15
//   %cmp = icmp slt i32 %0, 0, !dbg !15
//   br i1 %cmp, label %if.end, label %if.then, !dbg !15
//
// if.then:                                          ; preds = %while.body
//   call void @abort(), !dbg !15
//   br label %if.end, !dbg !15
//
// Notice that all the instructions in blocks 'while.body' and 'if.then'
// have exactly the same debug information. When this program is sampled
// at runtime, the profiler will assume that all these instructions are
// equally frequent. This, in turn, will consider the edge while.body->if.then
// to be frequently taken (which is incorrect).
//
// By adding a discriminator value to the instructions in block 'if.then',
// we can distinguish instructions at line 101 with discriminator 0 from
// the instructions at line 101 with discriminator 1.

/// \brief Assign DWARF discriminators.
///
/// To assign discriminators, we examine the boundaries of every
/// basic block and its successors. Suppose there is a basic block B1
/// with successor B2. The last instruction I1 in B1 and the first
/// instruction I2 in B2 are located at the same file and line number.
/// This situation is illustrated in the following code snippet:
///
///       if (i < 10) x = i;
///
///     entry:
///       br i1 %cmp, label %if.then, label %if.end, !dbg !10
///     if.then:
///       %1 = load i32* %i.addr, align 4, !dbg !10
///       store i32 %1, i32* %x, align 4, !dbg !10
///       br label %if.end, !dbg !10
///     if.end:
///       ret void, !dbg !12
///
/// Notice how the branch instruction in block 'entry' and all the
/// instructions in block 'if.then' have the exact same debug location
/// information (!dbg !10).
///
/// To distinguish instructions in block 'entry' from instructions in
/// block 'if.then', we generate a new lexical block for all the
/// instruction in block 'if.then' that share the same file and line
/// location with the last instruction of block 'entry'.
///
/// This new lexical block will have the same location information as
/// the previous one, but with a new DWARF discriminator value.
///
/// One of the main uses of this discriminator value is in runtime
/// sample profilers. It allows the profiler to distinguish instructions
/// at location !dbg !10 that execute on different basic blocks. This is
/// important because while the predicate 'if (x < 10)' may have been
/// executed millions of times, the assignment 'x = i' may have only
/// executed a handful of times (meaning that the entry->if.then edge is
/// seldom taken).
///
/// If we did not have discriminator information, the profiler would
/// assign the same weight to both blocks 'entry' and 'if.then', which
/// in turn will make it conclude that the entry->if.then edge is very
/// hot.
///
/// To decide where to create new discriminator values, this function
/// traverses the CFG and examines instruction at basic block boundaries.
/// If the last instruction I1 of a block B1 is at the same file and line
/// location as instruction I2 of successor B2, then it creates a new
/// lexical block for I2 and all the instruction in B2 that share the same
/// file and line location as I2. This new lexical block will have a
/// different discriminator number than I1.
