compute_call_stmt_bb_frequency test is indeed bit insane, but probably works in
practice. I will fix this on pretty-ipa branch.
Looking at sw(__MAIN) just after profiling, profile is there and it is sort of
sane.
The reason for low probability of the internal loop being somewhat cold is
block
31 that is predicted via noreturn heuristics.
It looks like the code is leading to exit at error cases and to noreturn call
in common case that is confusing the predictors...
Block 31 starts with:
omega_178 = 6.28318530700000010824624041561037302017211914062e+0 /
period.151_177
v0 ={v} 1.0000000000000000555111512312
5782702118158340454e-1
dt_parm.51.common.filename ={v} &"channel.f90"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1};
Perhaps if all paths through function leads to noreturn, one can disable the
heuristics... I will check if this works.
