Abstract

This code generation technique for WHILE, FOR, and DO loops is simple to implement and usually results in the best loop code in the absence of flow analysis. Also the technique makes it possible to move code from inner loops without doing flow analysis and without ever moving code from a less frequently executed block to a more frequently executed block.
