+Relooper
+========
+
+This is an optimized C++ implemention of the Relooper algorithm originally developed as part
+of Emscripten. This implementation includes optimizations added since the original academic
+paper [1] - see paper.pdf - was published about it, and is written in an LLVM-friendly way
+with the goal of inclusion in upstream LLVM.
