Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Expressions are selectively retrieved from memory during compilation by scanning code for expressions that can be effectively accessed directly from highly cached memory without needing to be loaded into a register, e.g., expressions that are not modified by the rest of the code. The scanning may include examining the use of the expression. Those expressions may be retrieved directly from the highly cached memory rather than being loaded into registers. This reduces compilation time.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for selectively retrieving expressions from memory during compilation, comprising: scanning code for expressions that can be effectively accessed from highly cached memory without being loaded into registers, wherein scanning the code includes: creating a bit vector to represent a plurality of expressions in a code region; initializing bits of the bit vector as set such that the expressions in the code region are initially marked as candidates fo…
