In computer science, compile time (or compile-time) describes the time window during which a language's statements are converted into binary instructions...

computing, compile-time function execution (or compile-time function evaluation, or general constant expressions) is the ability of a compiler, that would...

optimization is often handled at compile time, prior to deployment: compilation from bytecode to machine code is much faster than compiling from source. The deployed...

templates can include compile-time constants, data structures, and complete functions. The use of templates can be thought of as compile-time polymorphism. The...

generally done in source code, which is then compiled at compile time (and statically linked at link time) to produce an executable. This executable is...

computing, static dispatch is a form of polymorphism fully resolved during compile time. It is a form of method dispatch, which describes how a language or environment...

depends on both the order of the instructions generated by the compiler at compile time and the execution order of the CPU at runtime. However, memory...

computer science, a compiler-compiler or compiler generator is a programming tool that creates a parser, interpreter, or compiler from some form of formal...

consistent way. This checking can happen statically (at compile time), dynamically (at run time), or as a combination of both. Type systems have other...

example, a compiler that runs on a PC but generates code that runs on Android devices is a cross compiler. A cross compiler is useful to compile code for...

cross-compiler itself runs. A bootstrap compiler is often a temporary compiler, used for compiling a more permanent or better optimised compiler for a...

An optimizing compiler is a compiler designed to generate code that is optimized in aspects such as minimizing program execution time, memory usage, storage...

In computer science, ahead-of-time compilation (AOT compilation) is the act of compiling an (often) higher-level programming language into an (often) lower-level...

static, catching potential errors at compile time, or dynamic, associating type information with values at run-time and consulting them as needed to detect...

function pointer type, whose value is unknown until it is evaluated at run-time. Rebinding should not be confused with mutation or assignment. Rebinding...

program is intended to be run. The name comes from the compile time and runtime division from compiled languages, which similarly distinguishes the computer...

compile time solution is: classB.setStringData(classA.getStringData()); However, suppose that the format of the string data must be varied. A compile...
