----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- This module shows verbose information about the progress of the
-- JIT compiler. It prints one line for each generated trace. This module
-- is useful to see which code has been compiled or where the compiler
-- punts and falls back to the interpreter.
--
-- Example usage:
--
--   luajit -jv -e "for i=1,1000 do for j=1,1000 do end end"
--   luajit -jv=myapp.out myapp.lua
--
-- Default output is to stderr. To redirect the output to a file, pass a
-- filename as an argument (use '-' for stdout) or set the environment
-- variable LUAJIT_VERBOSEFILE. The file is overwritten every time the
-- module is started.
--
-- The output from the first example should look like this:
--
-- [TRACE   1 (command line):1 loop]
-- [TRACE   2 (1/3) (command line):1 -> 1]
--
-- The first number in each line is the internal trace number. Next are
-- the file name ('(command line)') and the line number (':1') where the
-- trace has started. Side traces also show the parent trace number and
-- the exit number where they are attached to in parentheses ('(1/3)').
-- An arrow at the end shows where the trace links to ('-> 1'), unless
-- it loops to itself.
--
-- In this case the inner loop gets hot and is traced first, generating
-- a root trace. Then the last exit from the 1st trace gets hot, too,
-- and triggers generation of the 2nd trace. The side trace follows the
-- path along the outer loop and *around* the inner loop, back to its
-- start, and then links to the 1st trace. Yes, this may seem unusual,
-- if you know how traditional compilers work. Trace compilers are full
-- of surprises like this -- have fun! :-)
--
-- Aborted traces are shown like this:
--
-- [TRACE --- foo.lua:44 -- leaving loop in root trace at foo:lua:50]
--
-- Don't worry -- trace aborts are quite common, even in programs which
-- can be fully compiled. The compiler may retry several times until it
-- finds a suitable trace.
--
-- Of course this doesn't work with features that are not-yet-implemented
-- (NYI error messages). The VM simply falls back to the interpreter. This
-- may not matter at all if the particular trace is not very high up in
-- the CPU usage profile. Oh, and the interpreter is quite fast, too.
--
-- Also check out the -jdump module, which prints all the gory details.
