#
# This script is used to calculate two basic properties of the branch prediction
# heuristics - coverage and hitrate.  Coverage is number of executions
# of a given branch matched by the heuristics and hitrate is probability
# that once branch is predicted as taken it is really taken.
#
# These values are useful to determine the quality of given heuristics.
# Hitrate may be directly used in predict.def.
#
# Usage:
#  Step 1: Compile and profile your program.  You need to use -fprofile-generate
#    flag to get the profiles.
#  Step 2: Make a reference run of the intrumented application.
#  Step 3: Compile the program with collected profile and dump IPA profiles
#          (-fprofile-use -fdump-ipa-profile-details)
#  Step 4: Collect all generated dump files:
#          find . -name '*.profile' | xargs cat > dump_file
#  Step 5: Run the script:
#          ./analyze_brprob.py dump_file
#          and read results.  Basically the following table is printed:
#

#
#  The heuristics called "first match" is a heuristics used by GCC branch
#  prediction pass and it predicts 55.2% branches correctly. As you can,
#  the heuristics has very good covertage (69.05%).  On the other hand,
#  "opcode values nonequal (on trees)" heuristics has good hirate, but poor
#  coverage.
