predict.def: New file.
* predict.def: New file. * predict.h: New file. * predict.c: Include predict.h. (predictor_info): New structure and array. (predict_edge, predict_insn): Rewrite; make global. (predict_edge_def, predict_insn_def): New global functions. (dump_prediction, combine_predictions_for_insns): New static functions. (estimate_probability): Change calls to predict_edge to predict_edge_def and calls to predict_insn to predict_insn_def; combine probabilities. (expected_value_to_br_prob): Behave as predictor. * rtl.h (REG_BR_PRED): Update coment. (invert_br_probabilities): New. * jump.c: Include predict.h (duplicate_loop_exit_test): Drop branch prediction notes. (invert_jump): Use invert_br_probabilities. * Makefile.in: Add dependancy on predict.h for jump and predict pass. * ifcvt.c (dead_or_predicable): Use invert_br_probabilities. * combine.c (distribute_notes): Handle BR_PRED.

+/* Before including this file, you should define a macro:

+ DEF_PREDICTOR (ENUM, NAME, HITRATE)
+
+ This macro will be called once for each predictor. The ENUM will

+ predictors. The order of DEF_PREDICTOR calls is important, as
+ in the first match combining heuristics, the predictor appearing
+ first in this file will win.
+
+ NAME is used in the debugging output to determine predictor type.
+
+ HITRATE is the probability that edge predicted by predictor as taken
+ will be really taken (so it should be always above
+ REG_BR_PROB_BASE / 2). */
