Summary: value-profile.c produces incorrect error message when
*count > *all
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: gcov-profile

Patch that adds a helpful error message when the profile is corrupted.
When a profile is corrupted and *count > *all (in value-prof.c) around line
473, an incorrect message is generated. This message reads:
profiler overall count (%d) does not match BB count (%d)
The integers in parentheses are actually equal so the message is confusing to
the user.
There should be a better error message generated in this case, pointing the
user to what went wrong.
I am attaching a patch that fixes this (I'll also be sending out an email to
the mailing list).
