Message: [QUOTE="Pascal Costanza, post: 1730483"] No, not quite. You can actually control whether you want a piece of dynamically generated code interpreted or compiled. If such generated code isn't run too often (for example only once) then the overhead of compiling it most probably doesn't pay off but rather can be higher than when the code is just interpreted. Furthermore note that this is not an implementation difference. The ANSI standard defines the function COMPILE. I simply don't believe that this will work out in the long run. Not in a truly general-purpose language. Pascal [/QUOTE]
