Interface OptimizationLevel

All Superinterfaces:

Describable

Deprecated. Replaced by CodeGenerationStrategy.

public interface OptimizationLevel

extends Describable

A representation of a set of optimizations that comprise a 'level' of optimization.

Typically the JVM will choose a level of optimization depending on profiling data telling the cost/benefit ratio of a methods usage and the 'cost' of performing the compilation/optimization.
