+If combined with @option{-fprofile-arcs}, it instructs the compiler to add
+a code to gather information about addresses of memory references in the

+
+With @option{-fbranch-probabilities}, it reads back the data gathered
+and issues prefetch instructions according to them. In addition to the opportunities
+noticed by @option{-fprefetch-loop-arrays}, it also notices more complicated
+memory access patterns -- for example accesses to the data stored in linked

+In order to prevent issuing double prefetches, usage of
+@option{-fspeculative-prefetching} implies @option{-fno-prefetch-loop-arrays}.
