Reply To: Can branch predictors perfectly predict counting loops?

As far as I understand it, on the Mill the compiler converts each loop into a recursive function (which is a basic block). But that’s beside the point, as (as far as I understand it) the Mill’s predictor predicts that basic block A exits to basic block B. So, the cache loads basic block A, preloads basic block B, and the number of iterations are mostly meaningless to efficiency. Then again, I have slept many times since watching that talk.
