+\item[dead code elimination]{is the process of pruning from a function all the statements whose results are never used.}

+\item[common subexpression elimination]{is the process of replacing similar expressions by a variable that holds the result of their evaluation.}
+
+\item[goto elimination]{is the process of replacing \texttt{goto} instructions by a hierarchical control flow graph.}

\item[inlining]{is a function transformation.
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.}
\item[instruction selection]{is the process of mapping parts of the IR to machine instructions.}
-\item[goto elimination]{is the process of replacing \texttt{goto} instructions by a hierarchical control flow graph.}
-
\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.}
-\item[common subexpression elimination]{is the process of replacing similar expressions by a variable that holds the result of their evaluation.}
-
\item[statement isolation]{is the process of replacing all variables referenced in a statement by newly declared variables.
A prologue and an epilogue are added to copy old variable values to new variable, back and forth.}
-\item[dead code elimination]{is the process of pruning from a function all the statements whose results are never used.}
-
\item[array linearization]{is the process of converting multidimensional array into unidimensional arrays, possibly with a conversion from array to pointer.}
\item[iteration clamping]{is a loop transformation that extends the loop range but guards the loop body with the former range.}
