-// Insert Loop pre-headers and exit blocks into the CFG for each function in the
-// module. This pass updates loop information and dominator information.
+// This pass performs several transformations to transform natural loops into a
+// simpler form, which makes subsequent analyses and transformations simpler and
+// more effective.
//
// Loop pre-header insertion guarantees that there is a single, non-critical
// entry edge from outside of the loop to the loop header. This simplifies a
// as store-sinking that are built into LICM.
//
// Note that the simplifycfg pass will clean up blocks which are split out but
-// end up being unnecessary, so usage of this pass does not necessarily
-// pessimize generated code.
