Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and compilers for compiling code. The methods and compilers disclosed can compile a callable compilable unit of code free of declarations and assertions that identify attributes of arguments expressed therein. The attributes of the arguments in the callable compilable unit of code are inferred by the compilers and methods disclosed herein from information provided by a call site that calls a compiler to compile the callable compilable unit of code.
