Hi All:
  I read codes in bb-reorder pass. normally it's fine to take the most
probable basic block as the downward bb.
unfortunately, the processor I'm working on is a little different.
It has no pipeline stall when branches are taken, but does introduce
stall when they are not taken.

take an example code like:
--------------
statement 0;
if likely(condition)
 	statement 1;
else
	statement 2;

return;

gcc may generate :
---------------
  statement 0;
  if !(condition) branch to label x;
  statement 1;
  return;
label x:
  statement 2;
  return;

Which is less effective on my processor. I am wondering whether possible
to modify codes in bb-reorder making gcc to take the less probable basic
block as the downward bb?
So any tips? Thanks in advance.
