Yes, you may be right. The only reason for -floop-stripmine would be functional testing of the loop strip mining pass, but it will never give a performance improvement. -floop-stripmine and -floop-interchange are not implemented at the moment, but I did not want to remove them, as they may be implemented later. I thought I could implement them over a weekend, but I could not test them because of other bugs. So I thought the time is better spend in fixing remaining graphite bugs. But maybe we should print some error messages, if s.o. uses these flags. See you Tobias
