Remember, the Halting Problem is unsolvable in the general case, but may
be solvable in specific cases.
It's the same thing with compiled code. While the compiler can't
guarantee that *every* code file will be compiled to its optimal machine
code, it can guarantee that *sets* of code files will. The job of the
compiler developer is to identify these potential sets, and teach the
compiler to recognize them.
