// This pass generates branch weight annotations on the IR:

// - prof: Represents branch weights. This annotation is added to branches
// to indicate the weights of each edge coming out of the branch.
// The weight of each edge is the weight of the target block for
// that edge. The weight of a block B is computed as the maximum
// number of samples found in B.
