A method of generating a software program executable binary file. A first file including source code therein is accessed. A second file including object code therein and further including object file summary information is accessed. The executable binary file is generated from at least the first and second files. The object file summary information is used in optimizing the executable binary file generated.

Program optimization using object file summary information

Disclosed are systems and methods for optimizing a program.

System and method for optimizing a program

The present disclosure relates to whole program analysis and, more particularly, short data optimization obtained through whole program analysis. In one embodiment, short data optimization is achieved by analyzing the program to estimate the size of existing short data and the size of any linkage tables, providing the size estimates to a compiler that is to compile the program, and compiling the program with the compiler in view of the size estimates such that a relatively large amount of data is allocated to a short data area.

Methods and Systems for automatically reordering variables as a part of compiling and linking source code. In one embodiment, a compiler identifies a set of variables that are candidates for reordering. The candidate variables are associated with one or more source code files that are being compiled. The compiler collects data used for determining a potential layout of the candidate variables. The linker determines the potential layout based, at least in part, on the data and reorders the candidate variables based, at least in part, on the potential layout.
