For our purposes, an intra-procedural control transfer instruction is defined as a CTI with at least one known successor basic block in the same function. Remember that we assume that control flow ...

The graph building code is ISA agnostic for the most part, and will likely work with other ISAs out of the box. The only ISA specific code is in isUnconditionalJump(), It checks if a line contains an ...

The conditional causes the code to branch to either block b2 or block b3. One way to view this is as a control-flow graph: ...

In order to achieve high performance, wide-issue superscalar processors have to fetch a large number of instructions per cycle. Conditional branches are the primary impediment to increasing the fetch ...

Remember that we assume that control flow only continues after conditional branches but not necessarily after call or unconditional branch instructions. Therefore, an instruction is an ...
