  • Cross-module inlining candidate identification
    Patent number: 8522218
    Abstract: Routines which are likely to be good candidates for cross-module inlining are automatically identified according to criteria based on service history, compiler inlining criteria, and/or execution performance criteria. Candidates can also be automatically identified by pattern matching codes of routines which satisfy service history, execution performance, and/or compiler criteria. Automatically identified candidate routines are presented in an inlining advisory tool, allowing developers to approve/veto automatically identified candidates, to add other routines, and to either suggest or require that the development tools perform cross-module inlining with particular routines. Changes to a candidate routine can trigger regeneration of native image(s) into which the routine has been compiled.
