LAZY COMPILATION OF TEMPLATE-GENERATED CLASSES IN DYNAMIC COMPILATION EXECUTION ENVIRONMENTS

Template-generated classes in program code are compiled efficiently through a process of lazy compilation resulting in improved compilation times. Lazy compilation includes the generation of objects representing a class template and a template-generated class as well as the selective compilation of class methods that are invoked in the program code. Code sharing is a further enhancement for increasing compilation speed by providing a system and method for sharing executable object code for compatible methods among different classes generated from the same class template.
