ScopInfo's normal profitability heuristic considers SCoPs where all
statements have scalar writes as not profitably optimizable and
invalidate the SCoP in that case. However, -polly-delicm and
-polly-simplify may be able to remove some of the scalar writes such
that the flag -polly-unprofitable-scalar-accs=false allows disabling
that part of the heuristic.
In cases where DeLICM (or other passes after ScopInfo) are not
successful in removing scalar writes, the SCoP is still not profitably
optimizable. The schedule optimizer would again try computing another
schedule, resulting in slower compilation.
The -polly-prune-unprofitable pass applies the profitability heuristic
again before the schedule optimizer Polly can still bail out even with
-polly-unprofitable-scalar-accs=false.
