In case of GCC, you can add -fdump-rtl-loop2_unroll-slim  to compiler command
line and examine the resulting dump file (look for ";; Unrolled loop"),
although there is no easy way to tell to which loop the compiler is referring
to.  It is still usable in case there is only one loop in the function you're
interested in.
