We end up with a 90% vs. 10% probability: ;; succ: 13 [10.0% (guessed)] count:4740826 (estimated locally) (TRUE_VALUE,EXECUTABLE) ;; 15 [90.0% (guessed)] count:42667438 (estimated locally) (FALSE_VALUE,EXECUTABLE) ... ;; basic block 13, loop depth 2, count 4740826 (estimated locally), maybe hot which is still maybe hot :/ There is now __builtin_expect_with_probability, but I wonder why we end up with a maybe-hot count regardless of the __builtin_expect. Using __builtin_expect_with_probability (!!(count[n] == extent[n]), 0, 1) makes it assumed to be never executed but as soon as I use __builtin_expect_with_probability basic block counts all end up zero!? Honza?
