Smart recompilation of performing matchup/difference after code generation
Patent 5367683 Issued on November 22, 1994. Estimated Expiration Date: June 26, 2012. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.
A method and system for compiling a source program using smart recompilation. The invention allows fragments to contain "invocation specific" information, which is generated during a code generation phase of compilation. A hint generator attempts to preserve values of the invocation specific information between successive invocations of the compiler.
