Abstract
A mechanism for generating optimized native code for a program having dynamic behavior uses a static analysis of the program to predict the likelihood that different elements of the program are likely to be used when the program executes. The static analysis is performed prior to execution of the program and marks certain elements of the program with confidence indicators that classify the elements with either a high level of confidence or a low level of confidence. The confidence indicators are then used by an ahead-of-time native compiler to generate native code and to optimize the code for faster execution and/or a smaller-sized native code.
