In computer programming, a dead store is a local variable that is assigned a value but is read by no following instruction.Dead stores waste processor time and memory, and may be detected through the use of static program analysis, and removed by an optimizing compiler.
This is a list of the instructions that make up the Java bytecode, an abstract machine language that is ultimately executed by the Java virtual machine. [1] The Java bytecode is generated from languages running on the Java Platform, most notably the Java programming language.
Note: Java does not support pointers. [6] It is because pointers (with restrictions) are the default way of accessing objects in Java, and Java does not use stars to indicate them. For example, i in the last example is a pointer and can be used to access the instance. One can also declare a pointer to "read-only" data in C++.
A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.
The choice of a variable name should be mnemonic — that is, designed to indicate to the casual observer the intent of its use. One-character variable names should be avoided except for temporary "throwaway" variables. Common names for temporary variables are i, j, k, m, and n for integers; c, d, and e for characters. int i;
An unreferenced variable in the source code of a computer program is a variable that is defined but which is never used. This may result in a harmless waste of memory. Many compilers detect such variables and do not allocate storage for them (i.e., "optimize away" their storage), generally also issuing a warning as they do.
An undefined variable in the source code of a computer program is a variable that is accessed in the code but has not been declared by that code. [1] In some programming languages, an implicit declaration is provided the first time such a variable is encountered at compile time. In other languages such a usage is considered to be sufficiently ...
During SSA construction, Φ functions for any "block-local" variables are omitted. Computing the set of block-local variables is a simpler and faster procedure than full live-variable analysis, making semi-pruned SSA form more efficient to compute than pruned SSA form. On the other hand, semi-pruned SSA form will contain more Φ functions.
