| **** | This optimizer moves as many expressions as possible out of loops. An expression is movable if it is either * a constant * a constant from the beginning of the loop to its first call

| **** | if func.sig.is_iter then mark_hot_args(func); end; unfortunatly it is very hard to do any optimizations within iters. The problem is that it not possible to move code or evaluate expressions before or after the yield statement where they were. It is for example impossible to move the expression 'a*b' out of a loop, as you don't know if the caller may change it or not:
____loop_yield_1.up!*a*b;_end; This assumes that either a or b are attributes, and not locals of course. As it seems not worth the trouble, iters are not optimized at all (but we do inlining in iters, of course); |

| **** | if no optimization option is on, but opt_debug is on the compiler dumps the AM form of all functions. Handy to get them, but definitly the wrong place for this code. This will most certainly be deleted in future versions of the optimizer. |
