With the option -outline-optional-branches, LLVM will place optional branches out of line (more details on r231230). With this patch, this is not done for short optional branches. A short optional branch is a branch containing a single block with an instruction count below a certain threshold (defaulting to 3). Still everything is guarded under -outline-optional-branches). Outlining a short branch can't significantly improve code locality. It can however decrease performance because of the additional jmp and in cases where the optional branch is hot. This fixes a compile time regression I have observed in a benchmark.
