Hi, when inlining last copy of function, we assume that the counts are already correct, because all other execution paths has been inlined earlier. While this is true in simple cases of static functions, it can be wrong for comdats where we optimize out the last copy but during training run we may have collected execution counts from other units. This could then resuit in quite large profile inconsistencies and thus it is better to fix.
Of course this is not perfect if some offline copy of function is later produced, because that one will have zero counts. I do not think there is easy solution for this problem except for LTO or possibly arranging profile counts of different copies of same comdat to be shared which we don't have infrastructure for.
