METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND DEVICE FOR SELECTIVELY ALLOCATING MEMORY

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.
