+/* Before including this file, you should define a macro:
+
+ DEF_PREDICTOR (ENUM, NAME, HITRATE)
+
+ This macro will be called once for each predictor. The ENUM will
+ be of type `enum predictor', and will enumerate all supported
+ predictors. The order of DEF_PREDICTOR calls is important, as
+ in the first match combining heuristics, the predictor appearing
+ first in this file will win.
+
+ NAME is used in the debugging output to determine predictor type.
+
+ HITRATE is the probability that edge predicted by predictor as taken
+ will be really taken (so it should be always above
+ REG_BR_PROB_BASE / 2). */
