Summary:
SamplePGO uses profile with debug info to collect profile. Unlike the traditional debugging purpose, sample pgo needs more accurate debug info to represent the profile. We add -femit-accurate-debug-info for this purpose. It can be combined with all debugging modes (-g, -gmlt, etc). It makes sure that the following pieces of info is always emitted:

* start line of all subprograms
* linkage name of all subprograms
* standalone subprograms (functions that has neither inlined nor been inlined)

The impact on speccpu2006 binary size (size increase comparing with -g0 binary, also includes data for -g binary, which does not change with this patch):

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

Information on Clang:              http://clang.llvm.org/

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang development mailing list:

If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker:
