Compare the results of several data dependence analyzers. This option
is used for debugging the data dependence analyzers.
+@item -ftree-loop-if-convert
+Attempt to transform conditional jumps in the innermost loops to
+branch-less equivalents. The intent is to remove control-flow from
+the innermost loops in order to improve the ability of the
+vectorization pass to handle these loops. This is enabled by default
+if vectorization is enabled.

@item -ftree-loop-distribution
Perform loop distribution. This flag can improve cache performance on
big loop bodies and allow further loop optimizations, like
