If there are side-effects it's anyway not going to be very profitable. loop-splitting is mostly an enabler for vectorization; loops with side-effects don't vectorize (as of now). > It might fit loop splitting which would split it "dynamically" into a > head running until we set found to true, skipping to the tail that has > the loop with omitted guard and found = true setting.

If the loop has no other side-effects than setting LCSSA names to a single value then the second loop wouldn't even be necessary (i.e. the "break" would essentially be inserted). For this specific case it indeed looks like the loop splitting routines could be reasonably be used. Ciao, Michael.
