Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer readable media, for generating a plurality of tokens from one or more source files. The one or more source files include source code in a first programming language. The source code includes one or more static conditionals that include a conditional expression and branch code that is operative when the conditional expression is true. Various configurations are possible based upon the conditionals. A first static conditional that includes one or more nested static conditionals within the branch code associated with the first static conditional is determined. Each of the one or more nested static conditionals is hoisted to a beginning of the branch code associated with the first static conditional. Each innermost branch code does not contain a static conditional, and each possible configuration is preserved.
