Well, the loops are generated by the front end, so I *assume* they are
basically the same ...
The issue will be boiler-plate code like duplicated loop header checks.
That said, it's perfectly understandable that other Fortran compilers have
high-level loop opts deeply embedded within their frontends...
I agree that this would be more easily handled in the Fortran front end.
However, for that it would first have to get a (high level) basic block
finder, because it has to be established that consecutive array
expressions are part of the same basic block.
I discussed high (i.e., Fortran-) level basic blocks briefly in my 2007
GCC Summit talk (http://moene.org/~toon/GCCSummit-2007.pdf, paragraph
7), but I do not think anyone really worked on it.
