About the C Compiler optimizes

This content is related to optimization level by Softune C Compiler.

Optimization Level 0

No optimization will be effected. This level is equivalent to cases where the -0 is not specified.

Optimization Level 1

Optimization will be effected in accordance with detailed analyses of a program flow.

Deletion of branch immediately after
Deletion of continuous branch
Merging execution line except of "if" sentence to "then-else"

When there is defined data either "else" section or "then" section in "if" sentence, the sentence is moved to section, which there is no defined, if there is defined sentence of the data except of "if" sentence.

And if there is no "else" section in "if" sentence, suitable transaction unit to "else" section is generated, and the sentence is moved to the transaction unit.

                                    

Before OptimizationAfter Optimization
A=x;
        if (...) {
            A=y;
        } else {
            B=z;
        }
(deletion)
        if (...) {
            A=y;
        } else {
            B=z; A=x;
        }

Deletion of common formula

                                                  

Before OptimizationAfter Optimization
t1=a+b;1=a+b;
t2=a+b;t2=t1;

Calculation of constant (folding constant in)
Possible constant of calculation is calculated at compiling.

Spread of constant
Variable, what constant is substituted, is replaced to the constant.

                                                  

Before OptimizationAfter Optimization
a=0;(deletion) /*Not use "a" after this*/
=a=0; /*Replace "a" to "0"*/

Deletion of un-execution sentence

Moving of unchanged formula in loop
Formula, what is not changed in loop, is moved out of loop.

Spread of copy

                                                  

Before OptimizationAfter Optimization
a=b;
    /*Not define "a" and "b" between this.*/
(deletion) /*Not use "a" after this*/
=a;=b; /*Replace "a" to "b"*/

Deletion of unused variable

                                    

Before OptimizationAfter Optimization
a=b;
    /*Not use "a" after this*/
(deletion)

Deletion of simple substitution

                                                  

Before OptimizationAfter Optimization
a=b;a=b;
b=a;(deletion)

Reduce of strength

Multiplication by constant of square is replaced to operation of higher speed by shifting.

                                    

Before OptimizationAfter Optimization
a=b*2;a=b<<2;

The in-line expansion of functions (same as effected by -x func specifying)

Branch of table for "switch-case" to implement instruction scheduling (same as effected by -Kschedule specifying)

Best use of delay branch instruction
Avoiding of interlock for LD instruction
Optimization of assembler instruction

Assignment of resister

Optimization Level 2

The following optimization feature is exercised in addition to the feature provided by optimization level 1.
However, it tends to increase object size.

Loops Unrolling for straight loops.

Optimization Level 3

The following optimization features are exercised in addition to the features provided by optimization level 2.
However, the translation time will increase.

Loop unrolling for loop, what has two exit
Loop unrolling for loop, what have any branch in "if" sentence
In optimization function repeated execution.

Optimization Level 4

The following optimization features are exercised in addition to the features provided by optimization level 3.

Arithmetic Operation Evaluation Type Change (same as effected by -K EOPT specifying)
Standard Function Expansion/Change (same as effected by -K LIB specifying)
Standard function (strcpy, strcmp, strlen, memcpy, memset) in-line expansion is implemented.
