Everything about Loop-invariant code motion
Type of compiler optimization
In computer programming, loop-invariant code consists of statements or expressions that can be moved outside the body of a loop without affecting the semantics of the program. Loop-invariant code motion is a compiler optimization that performs this movement automatically. Wikipedia →
