ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for improving the performance of subsequent compilations of a source program. The initial compilation of the source program journals computationally expensive intermediate compilation data. Subsequent compilations, instead of recomputing this data, uses the intermediate compilation data from the journal. Thus the compiler has improved performance during subsequent compilations of the source program. One aspect of the invention applies to dynamic compilers to reduce the startup delay caused by compiling the source program when the program is invoked.
