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

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...

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

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...

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

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

to other threads, at the cost of extra overhead. Escape analysis is a compile-time technique that can convert heap allocations to stack allocations, thereby...

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

runtime without knowing the names of the interfaces, fields, methods at compile time. It also allows instantiation of new objects and invocation of methods...

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...

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

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...

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...

interface for calling natively compiled functions given information about the target function at run time instead of compile time. It also implements the opposite...

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

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

lightning CMUCL and Scieneer Common Lisp implementations of Common Lisp can compile either to native code or to bytecode, which is far more compact Common...

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

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...

addition of compile time generic programming data types, allowing functions to work on a variety of data, along with a small set of new compiler directives...

types and typeclasses, described below. Template Haskell, a system for compile-time metaprogramming. Expressions can be written to produce Haskell code in...

assemblers: its powerful macro system (compile-time language) and the HLA Standard Library. HLA's compile-time language allows easy extension of the language...

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

exceptional conditions at run time. Programs divided into separately compilable sections, with extensive compile-time facilities (a.k.a. macros), not...

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

occurring at any moment are compile time and run time. Perl is in compile time at most points during the compile phase, but compile time may also be entered during...

graph algorithms. Although this approach often uses language features of compile-time genericity and templates, it is independent of particular language-technical...

innovative solutions for this, e.g., by handling metaobject issues at compile time. A good example of this is OpenC++. The Semantic Web object-oriented...
