  6. The -inline pass no longer misses obvious inlining opportunities just +because the callee eventually calls into an external function.

  7. The -simplifycfg pass can now "if convert" simple statements into the new +select instruction.

  8. The -loopsimplify pass can now break natural loops with multiple backedges +into multiple nested loops. This enables a variety of subsequent +optimizations.
