Interprocedural optimization (IPO) is a collection of compiler techniques used in computer programming to improve performance in programs containing many frequently used functions of small or medium length. IPO differs from other compiler optimizations by analyzing the entire program as opposed to a single function or block of code.
IPO seeks to reduce or eliminate duplicate calculations and inefficient use of memory and to simplify iterative sequences such as loops. If a call to another routine occurs within a loop, IPO analysis may determine that it is best to inline that routine. Additionally, IPO may re-order the routines for better memory layout and locality.
IPO may also include typical compiler optimizations applied on a whole-program level, for example dead code elimination (DCE), which removes code that is never executed. IPO also tries to ensure better use of constants. Modern compilers offer IPO as an option at compile-time. The actual IPO process may occur at any step between the human-readable source code and producing a finished executable binary program.
For languages that compile on a file-by-file basis, effective IPO across translation units (module files) requires knowledge of the "entry points" of the program so that a whole program optimization (WPO) can be run. In many cases, this is implemented as a link-time optimization (LTO) pass, because the whole program is visible to the linker.
The objective of any optimization for speed is to have the program run as swiftly as possible; the problem is that it is not possible for a compiler to correctly analyze a program and determine what it will do, much less what the programmer intended for it to do. By contrast, human programmers start at the other end with a purpose, and attempt to produce a program that will achieve it, preferably without expending a lot of thought in the process.
For various reasons, including readability, programs are frequently broken up into a number of procedures that handle a few general cases.

Rust est un langage de programmation compilé multi-paradigme conçu et développé par Mozilla Research depuis 2010. Il a été conçu pour être « un langage fiable, concurrent, pratique », supportant les styles de programmation purement fonctionnel, modèle d'acteur, procédural, ainsi qu'orienté objet sous certains aspects. En 2020, ses domaines de prédilection sont la programmation système, les applications en ligne de commande, les applications Web via WebAssembly, les services réseaux et les systèmes embarqués.
In compiler theory, dead-code elimination (DCE, dead-code removal, dead-code stripping, or dead-code strip) is a compiler optimization to remove dead code (code that does not affect the program results). Removing such code has several benefits: it shrinks program size, an important consideration in some contexts, and it allows the running program to avoid executing irrelevant operations, which reduces its running time. It can also enable further optimizations by simplifying program structure.
Clang est un compilateur pour les langages de programmation C, C++ et Objective-C. Son interface de bas niveau utilise les bibliothèques LLVM pour la compilation. C'est un logiciel libre issu d'un projet de recherche universitaire et distribué selon les termes de la licence Open Source NCSA/Université de l'Illinois. Son but est de proposer une alternative à GCC. En 2005, Apple utilise LLVM dans de nombreux projets commerciaux, dont l'iOS SDK et Xcode 3.1.
