Key Terminology
===============
Header Block - The basic block which dominates all other blocks
**Header Block** - The basic block which dominates all other blocks
contained within the loop. As such, it is the first one executed if
the loop executes at all. Note that a block can be the header of
two separate loops at the same time, but only if one is a sub-loop
of the other.
Exiting Block - A basic block contained within a given loop which has
**Exiting Block** - A basic block contained within a given loop which has
at least one successor outside of the loop and one successor inside the
loop. (The latter is a consequence of the block being contained within
an SCC which is part of the loop.) That is, it has a successor which
is an Exit Block.
Exit Block - A basic block outside of the associated loop which has a
**Exit Block** - A basic block outside of the associated loop which has a
predecessor inside the loop. That is, it has a predecessor which is
an Exiting Block.
Latch Block - A basic block within the loop whose successors include
**Latch Block** - A basic block within the loop whose successors include
the header block of the loop. Thus, a latch is a source of backedge.
A loop may have multiple latch blocks. A latch block may be either
conditional or unconditional.
Backedge(s) - The edge(s) in the CFG from latch blocks to the header
**Backedge(s)** - The edge(s) in the CFG from latch blocks to the header
block. Note that there can be multiple such edges, and even multiple
such edges leaving a single latch block.
Loop Predecessor - The predecessor blocks of the loop header which
**Loop Predecessor** - The predecessor blocks of the loop header which
are not contained by the loop itself. These are the only blocks
through which execution can enter the loop. When used in the
singular form implies that there is only one such unique block.
Preheader Block - A preheader is a (singular) loop predecessor which
**Preheader Block** - A preheader is a (singular) loop predecessor which
ends in an unconditional transfer of control to the loop header. Note
that not all loops have such blocks.
Backedge Taken Count - The number of times the backedge will execute
**Backedge Taken Count** - The number of times the backedge will execute
before some interesting event happens. Commonly used without
qualification of the event as a shorthand for when some exiting block
branches to some exit block. May be zero, or not statically computable.
Iteration Count - The number of times the header will execute before
**Iteration Count** - The number of times the header will execute before
some interesting event happens. Commonly used without qualification to
refer to the iteration count at which the loop exits. Will always be
one greater than the backedge taken count. *Warning*: Preceding
