		j-o-m 47 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: When compilers surprise you I find the real question: are all 16,000 of those lines require to implement the optimization? How much of that is dealing with LLVM’s internal representation and the varying complexity of LLVM’s other internal structure?

What would it mean to implement the optimization without dealing with LLVM's internal structure? Optimizations don't exist in a vacuum.
