 122 \section{Memory allocation alteration}
 123
 124 \begin{description}
 125
 126 \item[scalar renaming]{is the process of renaming scalar variables to suppress false data dependencies.}
 127
 128 \item[privatization]{is the process of detecting variables that are private to a loop body, i.e.\ written first, then read.}
 129
 130 \end{description}
 131
 132
 133 \section{Loop transformations}
 134
 135 \begin{description}
 136
 137 \item[loop unrolling]{is a loop transformation.
 138 Unrolling a loop by a factor of \(n\) consists in the substitution of a loop body by itself, replicated \(n\) times.
 139 A prelude and/or postlude are added to preserve the number of iteration.}
 140
 141 \item[loop fusion]{is a loop transformation that replaces two loops by a single loops whose body is the concatenation of the bodies of the two initial loops.}
 142
 143 \item[loop tiling]{is a loop nest transformation that changes the loop execution order through a partitions of the iteration space into chunks, so that the iteration is performed over each chunk and in the chunks.}
 144
 145 \item[loop interchange]{is a loop transformation that permutes two loops from a loop nest.}
 146
 147 \item[loop unswitching]{is a loop transformation that replaces a loop containing a test independent from the loop execution by a test containing the loop without the test in both true and false branch.}
 148
 149 \item[loop normalization]{is a loop transformation that changes the loop initial increment value or the loop range to enforce certain values, generally~1.}

 157 \section{Dead code removal}
 158
 159 \begin{description}
 160
 161 \item[inlining]{is a function transformation.
 162 Inlining a function \texttt{foo} in its caller \texttt{bar} consists in the substitution of the calls to \texttt{foo} in \texttt{bar} by the function body after replacement of the formal parameters by their effective parameters.}
 163
 164 \item[forward substitution]{is the process of replacing a reference read in an expression by the latest expression affected to it.}
 165
 166 \item[reduction detection]{is an analysis that identifies statements that perform a reduction over a variable.}
 167
 168 \item[parallelism detection]{is a common name for analysis that detect if a loop can be run in parallel.}
 169
 170 \item[parallelism extraction]{is a common name for code transformations that modifies loop nest to make it legal to run them in parallel.}
 171
 172 \item[directive generation]{is a common name for code transformations that annotate the code with directives.}
 173
 174 \item[constant propagation]{is a pass that replaces a variable by its value when this value is known at compile time.}
 175
 176 \item[instruction selection]{is the process of mapping parts of the IR to machine instructions.}
 177
 178 \item[goto elimination]{is the process of replacing \texttt{goto} instructions by a hierarchical control flow graph.}
 179
 180 \item[outlining]{is the process of extracting part of a function body into a new function and replacing it in the initial function by a function call.}
 181
 182 \item[common subexpression elimination]{is the process of replacing similar expressions by a variable that holds the result of their evaluation.}
 183
 184 \item[statement isolation]{is the process of replacing all variables referenced in a statement by newly declared variables.
 185 A prologue and an epilogue are added to copy old variable values to new variable, back and forth.}
 186
 187 \item[dead code elimination]{is the process of pruning from a function all the statements whose results are never used.}
 188
 189 \item[array linearization]{is the process of converting multidimensional array into unidimensional arrays, possibly with a conversion from array to pointer.}
 190
 191 \item[iteration clamping]{is a loop transformation that extends the loop range but guards the loop body with the former range.}
 192
 193 \item[flatten code]{is the process of pruning a function body from declaration blocks so that all declarations are made at the top level.}
 194
 195 \item[strength reduction]{is the process of replacing an operation by an operation of lower cost.}
 196
 197 \item[split update operator]{is the process of replacing an update operator by its expanded form.}
 198
 199 \item[n address code generation]{is the process of splitting complex expression in simpler ones that take at most \(n\) operands.}
 200
 201 \item[memory footprint reduction]{is the process of tiling a loop to make sure the iteration over the tile has a memory footprint bounded by a given value.}
 202
 203 \item[redundant load-store elimination]{is an inter procedural transformation that optimizes data transfers by delaying and merging them.}
 204
 205 \item[invariant code motion]{is a loop transformation that moves outside of the loop the code from its body that is independent from the iteration.}
 206
 207 \item[loop rerolling]{finds manually unrolled loop and replace them by their non-unrolled version.}
