Class Compiler

Contents

  • public final class Compiler
extends Object
    The Compiler class is provided to support Java-to-native-code compilers and related services. By design, the Compiler class does nothing; it serves as a placeholder for a JIT compiler implementation.

    When the Java Virtual Machine first starts, it determines if the system property java.compiler exists. (System properties are accessible through System.getProperty(String) and System.getProperty(String, String). If so, it is assumed to be the name of a library (with a platform-dependent exact location and type); System.loadLibrary(java.lang.String) is called to load that library. If this loading succeeds, the function named java_lang_Compiler_start() in that library is called.

    If no compiler is available, these methods do nothing.

    Since:
    JDK1.0
