global optimization
A level of optimization enabling code motion, strength reduction,
split life analysis, instruction scheduling, and inlining of
arithmetic functions. Global optimization can be thought of as
optimization within a program unit, that is, across statements.
"Additional global optimization" is a level of optimization that
improves speed at the cost of increasing the size of the VMS object
module or U*X object file. This optimization includes
interprocedural analysis, inlining procedures, multiplication and
division expansion, loop unrolling, and code replication.
Additional global optimization can be thought of as optimization
across program units. See also optimization.
