Provided is a compile time interface to run-time libraries that can reduce processing overhead in loops. A compile time interface identifies, at compile time, a loop that contains a library function in response to detecting a compiler hint associated with the library function. The compile time interface generates a bypass structure and modifies the loop to include a call to a planning function for a first pass through the loop and a call to a bypass function for one or more subsequent passes though the loop. The planning function sets the bypass function equal to an optimized library if one or more selected arguments to the library function are loop-invariant.
