Compiler optimizations

Peephole optimization

Peephole optimization is an optimization technique performed on a small set of compiler-generated instructions; the small set is known as the peephole or window. Peephole optimization involves changing the small set of instructions to an equivalent set that has better performance. For example: * instead of pushing register A onto the stack and then immediately popping the value back into register A, a peephole optimization would remove both instructions; * instead of adding A to A, a peephole optimization might do an arithmetic shift left; * instead of multiplying a floating point register by 8, a peephole optimization might scale the floating point register's exponent by 3; and * instead of multiplying an index by 4, adding the result to a base address to get a pointer value, and then dereferencing the pointer, a peephole optimization might use a hardware addressing mode that accomplishes the same result with one instruction. The term peephole optimization was introduced by William Marshall McKeeman in 1965. (Wikipedia).
