In particular I would look for calls which will be not analyzable. Since we're looking at each stmt above that could be embedded here. As said earlier once num exceeds param_max_peeled_insns you can stop the above loop. So heuristically I'd do sth like for (gimple_stmt_iterator gsi = gsi_start_bb (bbs[i]); !gsi_end_p (gsi); gsi_next (&gsi)) { gimple *stmt = gsi_stmt (gsi); if (is_gimple_debug (stmt)) continue; if (gimple_has_side_effects (stmt)) { free (bbs); return false; } num += estimate_num_insns (stmt, &eni_size_weights); if (num > param_max_peeled_insns) { free (bbs); return false; } if (gimple_vuse (stmt)) any_dr = true; } if (!any_dr) { free (bbs); return false; } There's also still the issue that the transformed loop will fail number of iteration analysis for the loop that iterates until the IV wraps. That's a blocker for the acceptance of this transform. Richard.
