Hi.

The patch makes debug counter more usable. In particular, one can now
list multiple closed intervals and -fdbg-cnt-list can reflect that.
Based on the discussion with Richard, I decided to leave semi-closed
intervals and make it closed, it's more intuitive.

Example:
$ g++ -O2 tramp3d-v4.ii -fdbg-cnt=match:1-2:6-10:11-20,dce:100:105-200,merged_ipa_icf:300-300 -c -fdbg-cnt-list
...
   counter name                   closed intervals
-----------------------------------------------------------------
...
   dce                            [1, 100], [105, 200]
...
   match                          [1, 2], [6, 10], [11, 20]
   merged_ipa_icf                 [300, 300]

Patch can bootstrap on x86_64-linux-gnu and survives regression tests.

Ready to be installed?
Thanks,
Martin

+  /* Reverse intervals exactly once.  */
+  if (v == 1)
+    limits[index]->reverse ();

why not do this at option processing time?  I think sorted insertion
is reasonable here (I don't see you sorting them at all?).

-static unsigned int limit_low[debug_counter_number_of_counters];
+static auto_vec<limit_tuple>
*limits[debug_counter_number_of_counters] = {NULL};

I think you can avoid one indirection here (vec<> is just one pointer) by doing

static vec<limit_tuple> limits[debug_counter_number_of_counters] = { vNULL };

?  Verify you get no runtime ctor, not sure if that's correct C++ for
initializing
all elements by vNULL, not just the first...

Alternatively I'd lazily allocate the whole vector rather than each individual
vector (at option processing time again), so

static vec<limit_tuple> (*limits)[];

Thanks,
Richard.

Because we don't have there any dbgcnt API. Right now one can use multiple
-fdbg-cnt options on a command line and that's why I'm doing that lazily.

I do expect a sorted intervals by user. If it's not provided, an error message
is directly emitted.

I fully agree with that we should reduce one level of indirection.
Lemme take a look..

But there's dbg_cnt_process_opt, that one can clearly insert intervals
in appropriately sorted way.

I see, I find it overzealous esp. for multiple options like
-fdbg-cnt=foo:5-7 -fdbg-cnt=foo:2-3?
But yeah, it simplifies things.  Still you could insert at the head
and avoid reversal.
Btw, there's vec::bsearch which might be convenient for sorted
insertion (even though
that doesn't return an index but a pointer to the element).

Hm, apparently it's not working. I see a stack corruption when calling
dbgcnt. I also explicitly called .create (2) for all vectors, but the
ICE still happens.

Anyway, I would probably go with the original patch. It's handy for me
to also have limits[index] == NULL to indicate a counter that is not set.
That's a different state from limits[index].is_empty() which means all
previous intervals were popped and we should return false.

Yes, I'm doing that right now.

I decided to sort the intervals for during each insertion.
It should not affect performance as one does not insert hundreds of intervals.
Doing that I can do following error detection:

$ g++ -O2 tramp3d-v4.ii -fdbg-cnt=match:2-10 -fdbg-cnt=match:200-300 -fdbg-cnt=match:6-7 -fdbg-cnt-list
cc1plus: error: Interval overlap of ‘-fdbg-cnt=match’: [2, 10] and [6, 7]

I'm going to test the patch.

There's one more version where I use more references to mitigate
indirection of 'counter' vectors.

You did use vec<> instead of auto_vec<> , did you?  Using auto_vec<>
here IMHO is bogus anyways.

But there's vec.exists_p () which just checks whether the m_vec member
is NULL.

Since file-scope statics are zero-initialized by default even

static vec<limit_tuple> limits[debug_counter_number_of_counters];

should work.

Yes, is_empty() vs. exists_p().

Works for me ;)

There's one another version that I'm testing right now.

It survives regression tests and bootstrap.

Richi, may I install it the patch?

Thanks,
