Abstract

Indefinite-size variables within an intermediate language are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method first inputs intermediate language code having a size-indefinite variable. The method generates native code based on the intermediate-language code. This includes generating a size-definite variable corresponding to the size-indefinite variable, according to a machine-specific criteria. The method then outputs the native code. In one embodiment, outputting the native code includes executing the native code.
