Adaptive code generation

Adaptive code generation is the practice of generating code in an adaptive environment, such as just in time or as part of mixed mode interpretation. Typically, this involves reoptimizing code for performance using runtime feedback. A Java Virtual Machine can be an adaptive environment for code generation while a statically compiled system cannot.
