generated by PGO instrumentation and merges them together into a single
indexed profile data file.

By default profile data is merged without modification. This means that the
relative importance of each input file is proportional to the number of samples
or counts it contains. In general, the input from a longer training run will be
interpreted as relatively more important than a shorter run. Depending on the
nature of the training runs it may be useful to adjust the weight given to each
input file by using the ``-weighted-input`` option.

Merge three profiles:

Weighted Input

The input file `foo.profdata` is especially important, multiply its counts by 10:

::

llvm-profdata merge -weighted-input=10,foo.profdata bar.profdata baz.profdata -output merged.profdata

Exactly equivalent to the previous invocation (explicit form; useful for programmatic invocation):

Exception Handling using the Windows Runtime
=================================================

(Note: Windows C++ exception handling support is a work in progress and is not
yet fully implemented. The text below describes how it will work when
completed.)

Background on Windows exceptions
---------------------------------

Interacting with exceptions on Windows is significantly more complicated than on
Itanium C++ ABI platforms. The fundamental difference between the two models is
that Itanium EH is designed around the idea of "successive unwinding," while

The following new instructions are considered "exception handling pads", in that
they must be the first non-phi instruction of a basic block that may be the
unwind destination of an invoke: ``catchpad``, ``cleanuppad``, and
``terminatepad``. As with landingpads, when entering a try scope, if the
unwind destination of an EH flow edge:
``catchswitch``, ``catchpad``, and ``cleanuppad``.
As with landingpads, when entering a try scope, if the
frontend encounters a call site that may throw an exception, it should emit an
invoke that unwinds to a ``catchpad`` block. Similarly, inside the scope of a
C++ object with a destructor, invokes should unwind to a ``cleanuppad``. The
``terminatepad`` instruction exists to represent ``noexcept`` and throw
specifications with one combined instruction. All potentially throwing calls in
a ``noexcept`` function should transitively unwind to a terminateblock. Throw
specifications are not implemented by MSVC, and are not yet supported.
invoke that unwinds to a ``catchswitch`` block. Similarly, inside the scope of a
C++ object with a destructor, invokes should unwind to a ``cleanuppad``.

New instructions are also used to mark the points where control is transferred
out of a catch/cleanup handler (which will correspond to exits from the
generated funclet). A catch handler which reaches its end by normal execution
executes a ``catchret`` instruction, which is a terminator indicating where in
the function control is returned to. A cleanup handler which reaches its end
by normal execution executes a ``cleanupret`` instruction, which is a terminator
indicating where the active exception will unwind to next. A catch or cleanup
handler which is exited by another exception being raised during its execution will
unwind through a ``catchendpad`` or ``cleanuupendpad`` (respectively). The
``catchendpad`` and ``cleanupendpad`` instructions are considered "exception
handling pads" in the same sense that ``catchpad``, ``cleanuppad``, and
``terminatepad`` are.

Each of these new EH pad instructions has a way to identify which
action should be considered after this action. The ``catchpad`` and
``terminatepad`` instructions are terminators, and have a label operand considered
to be an unwind destination analogous to the unwind destination of an invoke. The
``cleanuppad`` instruction is different from the other two in that it is not a
terminator. The code inside a cleanuppad runs before transferring control to the
next action, so the ``cleanupret`` and ``cleanupendpad`` instructions are the
instructions that hold a label operand and unwind to the next EH pad. All of
these "unwind edges" may refer to a basic block that contains an EH pad instruction,
or they may simply unwind to the caller. Unwinding to the caller has roughly the
same semantics as the ``resume`` instruction in the ``landingpad`` model. When
inlining through an invoke, instructions that unwind to the caller are hooked
up to unwind to the unwind destination of the call site.

and has an unwind destination operand analogous to the unwind destination of an

instruction instead. Successfully executing a catch handler should resume
normal control flow, so neither ``catchpad`` nor ``catchret`` instructions can
unwind. All of these "unwind edges" may refer to a basic block that contains an

Funclet parent tokens
-----------------------

In order to produce tables for EH personalities that use funclets, it is
necessary to recover the nesting that was present in the source. This funclet
parent relationship is encoded in the IR using tokens produced by the new "pad"
instructions. The token operand of a "pad" or "ret" instruction indicates which
funclet it is in, or "none" if it is not nested within another funclet.

The ``catchpad`` and ``cleanuppad`` instructions establish new funclets, and
their tokens are consumed by other "pad" instructions to establish membership.
The ``catchswitch`` instruction does not create a funclet, but it produces a
token that is always consumed by its immediate successor ``catchpad``
instructions. This ensures that every catch handler modelled by a ``catchpad``
belongs to exactly one ``catchswitch``, which models the dispatch point after a
C++ try.

Here is an example of what this nesting looks like using some hypothetical
C++ code:

.. code-block:: c
void f() {
try {
throw;
} catch (...) {
try {
throw;
} catch (...) {
}
}
}
.. code-block:: llvm
define void @f() #0 personality i8* bitcast (i32 (...)* @__CxxFrameHandler3 to i8*) {
entry:
invoke void @_CxxThrowException(i8* null, %eh.ThrowInfo* null) #1
to label %unreachable unwind label %catch.dispatch
catchend: ; preds = %lpad.catch, %catch.body
catchendpad unwind label %lpad.terminate
catch.dispatch: ; preds = %entry
%0 = catchswitch within none [label %catch] unwind to caller
lpad.terminate: ; preds = %catchend
terminatepad [void ()* @"\01?terminate@@YAXXZ"]
unwind to caller
catch: ; preds = %catch.dispatch
%1 = catchpad within %0 [i8* null, i32 64, i8* null]
invoke void @_CxxThrowException(i8* null, %eh.ThrowInfo* null) #1
to label %unreachable unwind label %catch.dispatch2
catch.dispatch2: ; preds = %catch
%2 = catchswitch within %1 [label %catch3] unwind to caller
catch3: ; preds = %catch.dispatch2
%3 = catchpad within %2 [i8* null, i32 64, i8* null]
catchret from %3 to label %try.cont
try.cont: ; preds = %catch3
catchret from %1 to label %try.cont6
try.cont6: ; preds = %try.cont
ret void
unreachable: ; preds = %catch, %entry
unreachable
}
The "inner" ``catchswitch`` consumes ``%1`` which is produced by the outer
catchswitch.
