Abstract
In the described examples, a non-transitory machine-readable medium includes a compiler that detects a soft-break indicator in a loop included in source code and the compiler applies software pipelining to generate compiled code for the loop. The compiled code includes assembly instructions and the soft-break indicator enables the compiler to arrange the assembly instructions to complete in-flight iterations of the loop after execution of the soft-break.
