Isnt this what a compiler is really doing? JIT optimizes code based on heuristics, it a code path is considered hot. Sure, we might be able to annotate it, but by and large you let the tools figure it out so that we can focus on other things.
- anon373839 2y agoBut the compiler’s heuristic optimization doesn’t change the effects of the code, does it? Admittedly I’m no compiler expert, but I’ve always been able to have 100% trust that my compiled code will function as written.
