Recording information about pass execution#
The event PLUGIN_PASS_EXECUTION passes the pointer to the executed pass
(the same as current_pass) as gcc_data
to the callback. You can also
inspect cfun to find out about which function this pass is executed for.
Note that this event will only be invoked if the gate check (if
applicable, modified by PLUGIN_OVERRIDE_GATE) succeeds.
You can use other hooks, like PLUGIN_ALL_PASSES_START
,
PLUGIN_ALL_PASSES_END
, PLUGIN_ALL_IPA_PASSES_START
,
PLUGIN_ALL_IPA_PASSES_END
, PLUGIN_EARLY_GIMPLE_PASSES_START
,
and/or PLUGIN_EARLY_GIMPLE_PASSES_END
to manipulate global state
in your plugin(s) in order to get context for the pass execution.
