Abstract: Enabling compilers to automatically optimize code poses significant scientific and engineering challenges. This pa- per provides a comprehensive examination of the fundamental limitations, practical constraints, and emerging solutions in compiler optimization. We delve into the intricate trade-offs between optimization efficacy, compilation time, and resource utilization, as well as the complexities introduced by modern programming paradigms, heterogeneous hardware architectures, and evolving computing paradigms. By exploring the frontiers of compiler optimization, this research aims to illuminate the path forward for developing more sophisticated, efficient, and effective compiler optimization techniques.

Keywords: Automatic Compiler Optimization, Alias Analysis, Side Effects, Pure Functions, SIMD
