Hi!
I totally agree with Basille. Actually pretty similar thing was
implemented by Liang Peng (ICT) as GCC GSoC'09 project -
http://ctuning.org/wiki/index.php/CTools:ICI:Projects:GSOC09:Function_cloning_and_program_instrumentation
So, probably you should take a look at the code in the
instrumentation part of this project.
