 Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2011 1:16 pm Post subject: Profile-Based CFLAGS |
 |
|
Hi folks,
I have searched the forums and looked at the GCC man for information RE: an automated, profile based CFLAG. I came across PGO and -fprofile-arcs/-fbranch-probabilities.
It is my understanding that both of these require one CFLAG to create the profile and another to integrate the profile upon recompilation, with the difference being that one creates a profile at compile time and the other creates a profile through program use.
This is obviously great for specific programs but cannot be used system-wide without changing CFLAGS before every upgrade and then again after to recompile everything. Can any of these be used together so that the system will create a profile if one does not exist, or use one if it does, i.e automate this process somewhat?
Cheers,
Scott |

New version of firefox comes with the pgo USEFLAG that does this. Perhaps you cas review the ebuild or eclass to see how the mozilla team have implemented this feature. |
