How this differ from annotating the library? There are indeed quite some possibilities to do about library calls.... One thing I always wondered about is how to tell predictor that paths containing heavy IO functions don't need to be really opimized to death, since their execution time is dominated by the IO... > based heuristics such as 'error, success, failure, fatal etc). yeah, this is also mentioned by some branch prediction papers. It is bit kludgy in nature (i.e. it won't understand programs written in Czech language) but it is an heuristics after all.
