 The loop identifier metadata is implemented using a metadata that refers to
-itself as follows:
+itself to avoid merging it with any other identifier metadata, e.g., 
+during module linkage or function inlining. That is, each loop should refer 
+to their own identification metadata even if they reside in separate functions. 
+The following example contains loop identifier metadata for two separate loop

 .. code-block:: llvm
