> I suppose you could characterize that as JIT compilation, but the optimizer does not make use of any runtime profiling information. That is JIT compilation. AFAIK James Gosling started using the phrase in the 1990s to pretend that it was something novel and to ignore the fact that that is how Lisp and Smalltalk systems have always worked. This is really confusing today because a lot of people started using "JIT" to be synonymous with dynamic recompilation techniques like tracing. |
