| /* 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 |
| be of type `enum predictor', and will enumerate all supported |
| 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). */ |
