Hi, all I am wondering if there is any possibility that gcc can generate annotations like control flow, or register usage into the executable. The idea comes from the paper below, Techniques to improve dynamic binary optimization http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~adas/adas-thesis-embed.pdf The paper lists annotations that may benefit a binary translator on chapter 5. For example, basic block register usage (live-ins ans live-outs) lets binary translators know which register can be used for optimizing. And control flow information can be used by the binary translator to identify a loop. I am not familar with gcc, so any sugguestion is apprecidated. Thanks!
