20/* Before including this file, you should define a macro:
21
22 DEF_PREDICTOR (ENUM, NAME, HITRATE)
23
24 This macro will be called once for each predictor. The ENUM will
c03de6c9 25 be of type `enum br_predictor', and will enumerate all supported
13488c51 26 predictors. The order of DEF_PREDICTOR calls is important, as
27 in the first match combining heuristics, the predictor appearing
28 first in this file will win.
29
30 NAME is used in the debugging output to determine predictor type.
31
32 HITRATE is the probability that edge predicted by predictor as taken
33 will be really taken (so it should be always above
34 REG_BR_PROB_BASE / 2). */
