Not just prediction hints, it helps other optimizations of not moving code around inter block which seems like what you need. Maybe it is better to file a bug about the code you want optimized and the way you want it optimized instead of asking for another feature. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40124
