Abstract

Based on source code analysis of an API-invoker program, an expendable set of source code sections of an API-implementer program is identified. The expendable set corresponds to operations which are not expected to be performed on behalf of the API-invoker program at a particular computing environment. An optimized binary version of the API-implementer program is generated, which does not include executable code corresponding to the expendable set. The optimized binary version is transmitted to the computing environment for deployment.
