Abstract
Methods and systems for computer program optimization utilize function cloning in program code, such as post-linked code. Each function call is directed to a different cloned version of the called function. Conventional profiling methods such as hardware event sampling, basic block profiling, and edge profiling may then be applied to the modified program code to obtain call path-based, clone-specific profile data. The profile data can be further exploited to optimize the program code.
