Constant Folding

Constant folding and constant propagation are related compiler optimizations used by many modern compilers. An advanced form of constant propagation known as sparse conditional constant propagation can more accurately propagate constants and simultaneously remove dead code.

Famous quotes containing the words constant and/or folding:

    “By constant dripping, water hollows stone,
    A signet-ring from use alone grows thin,
    And the curved plowshare by soft earth is worn.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “I’m folding up my little dreams
    Within my heart tonight,
    And praying I may soon forget
    The torture of their sight.”
    —Georgia Douglas Johnson (1886–1966)
