Abstract
A method and an apparatus to execute a code with value profiling are described. The code may include an access to an untyped variable. During the execution, runtime values of the untyped variable may be randomly inspected. A value profile may be established to predict one or more expected types of future runtime values for the untyped variable. The code may be recompiled according to the value profile to optimize the access of the untyped variable for the future runtime values.
