I'm still confused by the way it's become fashionable lately to bash optimizing compilers, of all things. They're important!
@rygorous But we need those for performance. e.g. TBAA is needed to compile basic for loops to memset. Signed overflow for loop trip counts.

@pcwalton The loop trip count one in particular boils down to a really kludge-y hack around "int" being the most popular loop counter type - 9 more replies
