30 /// Utility analysis that determines what values are worth profiling.
31 /// The actual logic is inside the ValueProfileCollectorImpl, whose job is to
32 /// populate the Candidates vector.
33 ///
34 /// Value profiling an expression means to track the values that this expression
35 /// takes at runtime and the frequency of each value.
36 /// It is important to distinguish between two sets of value profiles for a
37 /// particular expression:
38 ///  1) The set of values at the point of evaluation.
39 ///  2) The set of values at the point of use.
40 /// In some cases, the two sets are identical, but it's not unusual for the two
41 /// to differ.
42 ///
43 /// To elaborate more, consider this C code, and focus on the expression `nn`:
44 ///  void foo(int nn, bool b) {
45 ///    if (b)  memcpy(x, y, nn);
46 ///  }
47 /// The point of evaluation can be as early as the start of the function, and
48 /// let's say the value profile for `nn` is:
49 ///     total=100; (value,freq) set = {(8,10), (32,50)}
50 /// The point of use is right before we call memcpy, and since we execute the
51 /// memcpy conditionally, the value profile of `nn` can be:
52 ///     total=15; (value,freq) set = {(8,10), (4,5)}
53 ///
54 /// For this reason, a plugin is responsible for computing the insertion point
55 /// for each value to be profiled. The `CandidateInfo` structure encapsulates
56 /// all the information needed for each value profile site.
