Hi Guys,
Implementing and TESTING function-call support is boring so ...
I have just written a little piece of code that counts which
switch-cases are executed most frequently versus how often
their conditions are evaluated.
This can essentially be the basis for pgo based on the
ctfe-function path.
Since functions are supposed to be the same at ctfe and at
runtime, you basically get profiling information for free while
compiling.
Cheers,

This is the code that was necessary to add execution counters.
I'd say it does speak for the soundness of the design :)
