In addition to code reduction, this may also help reducing occupied branch prediction slots (mostly x86 I guess?). Say two conditional branches have 50/50 chance which does not benefit from branch prediction. Them merging the code with outlining can reduce them to one conditional branch instruction. Since it's still "unpredictable" during execution, one prediction slot is saved for free. |
