Abstract

A method for reducing a compile time of a source program includes receiving, by a compiler hosted on a computer, the source program. The compiler may have a compile time that depends non-linearly on a size of a function in the source program. The method involves identifying a source function in the source program and splitting the source function in to two or more target functions having sizes smaller than a size of the source function. The method further includes compiling the source program with the two or more target functions having sizes smaller than a size of the source function replacing the source function in the source program.
