Profile Guided Optimization
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
:abbr:`PGO (Profile Guided Optimization)` is the process of adding
|
|
probes to a compiled binary, running said binary, then using the
|
|
run-time information to *recompile* the binary to (hopefully) make it
|
|
faster.

How PGO Builds Work
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The supported interface for invoking a PGO build is to add ``MOZ_PGO=1`` to
|
|
configure flags and then build. e.g. in your mozconfig::
|
|
|
|
ac_add_options MOZ_PGO=1
|
|
|
|
Then::
|
|
|
|
$ ./mach build
|
|
|
|
This is roughly equivalent to::
|
|
|
|
#. Perform a build with *MOZ_PROFILE_GENERATE=1* and *MOZ_PGO_INSTRUMENTED=1*
|
|
#. Package with *MOZ_PGO_INSTRUMENTED=1*
|
|
#. Performing a run of the instrumented binaries
|
|
#. $ make maybe_clobber_profiledbuild
|
|
#. Perform a build with *MOZ_PROFILE_USE=1*
|
|
|
|
Differences between toolchains
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
There are some implementation differences depending on the compiler
|
|
toolchain being used.
|
|
|
|
The *maybe_clobber_profiledbuild* step gets its name because of a
|
|
difference. On Windows, this step merely moves some *.pgc* files around.
|
|
Using GCC or Clang, it is equivalent to a *make clean*.
