Abstract
A program entity that generates code but that does not perturb global state is identified. Code produced by the identified program entity can be assigned an identifier and cached the first time it is executed. Subsequent executions of the program entity can eliminate generation of the code and/or translation of the generated code into native binary code. The runtime generated code and native binary code can be cached in a machine-wide cache, or can be added to the metadata of the assembly generated from the source code of the program entity.
