A method and system for relating profile data generated by monitoring the execution of an optimized machine-code computer program back to the source-language description of the computer program. Logical line numbers are associated with the basic blocks of the intermediate-code representation of the computer program and actual line numbers are associated with each instruction of the intermediate-code representation of the computer program. During optimization of the intermediate code, the logical line numbers remain fixed to basic blocks, while actual line numbers remain fixed to intermediate-code instructions. A branch instruction and the target of the branch instruction in the optimized machine-code computer program or in an optimized assembly-language computer program can be related back to source-language statements by using the actual line number associated with the branch instruction and the logical line number associated with the basic block that contains the target of the branch instruction.
A method for relating profile data collected during execution of an optimized computer program back to the source-language description of the computer program, the optimized computer program including actual line numbers associated with each intermediate code instruction and logical line numbers associated with each basic block within the intermediate code program, the method comprising:
A computer-readable medium containing computer instructions that implement a method for relating profile data collected during execution of an optimized computer program back to the source-language description of the computer program, the optimized computer program including actual line numbers associated with each intermediate code instruction and logical line numbers associated with each basic block within the intermediate code program, the method implemented by:
Electronic signals embodied in a carrier wave that encode the computer instructions of a computer program that implements a method for relating profile data collected during execution of an optimized computer program back to the source-language description of the computer program, the optimized computer program including actual line numbers associated with each intermediate code instruction and logical line numbers associated with each basic block within the intermediate code program, the method implemented by:
A method for relating profile data collected during execution of an optimized computer program back to the source-language description of the computer program, the method comprising:
A system for profiling execution of an optimized computer program, the system comprising:
