Re: Compiler Loop Unswitching

Based on our metrics the single most important loop optimization
on application code is moving the test to the bottom when the first
compare is known at compile time. It halves the pipe line flushes
and is almost trivial to implement.

Could you explain what you mean with "first compare"? Maybe you could
provide a small code example?

Thank you.
