Can the callsite which needs a non-const version const_cast it where necessary?

That would delegate the knowledge about the implementation of this API - the fact that itself doesn't mutate - to the caller.

return const_cast<Instruction *>(
getTerminatorBenefitingFromMDProf(const_cast<const BasicBlock &>(BB)));

(capturing offline chat) this would be e.g. profi, and yes, we could use it in a number of ways:

  • instead of the perhaps more naive BPI estimator currently used (implicitly) here
  • as the way the BPI estimator handles MD_prof unknown cases (I think these 2 items basically amount to the same thing - improving the BPI estimator)
  • as a numerical validation heuristic (part "2" in the RFC)

// Get whatever branch probability info can be derived from the given IR -
// whether it has or not metadata. The main intention for this pass is to
// ensure that other passes don't drop or "forget" to update MD_prof. We do
// this as a mode in which lit tests would run. We want to avoid changing the
// behavior of those tests. A pass may use BPI (or BFI, which is computed from
// BPI). If no metadata is present, BPI is guesstimated by
// BranchProbabilityAnalysis. The injector (this pass) only persists whatever
// information the analysis provides, in other words, the pass being tested
// will get the same BPI it does if the injector wasn't running.
auto &BPI = FAM.getResult<BranchProbabilityAnalysis>(F);

ah, because only used in assert - done (something similar)

You cast FirstZeroDenominator to void, which would suppress any unused warning. I was thinking of avoiding useless code execution... unless we can trust the compiler will optimize it out.

The whole expression is const, so it should be optimizable out. I'd prefer relying on that, and fixing the DCE that if that's not the case.
