Abstract
An inlining code generator, executing external to a runtime environment, reproduces the processing of an innerloop of an interpreter for the runtime environment. The inlining code generator processes a program in the interpreted language and produces a corresponding program in a compiled language. The compiled language program is compiled into a native language program using a standard compiler specific to the underlying hardware. Because the native language program operates within the framework of the runtime environment, functions and routines provided by the runtime environment are available to the native language program.
