Method of running an application, apparatus implementing the method and computer program product

摘要

The invention relates to a method of running an application expanded with information enabling pre-compilation of the application code into machine code. The application (4) is in an intermediate code and stored in an apparatus (1) comprising an environment unit (2) capable of transposing such an application into machine readable code and running the application. The application is provided or associated with profiling information identifying portions of the intermediate code which are to be compiled into machine readable code. The method comprises the step of compiling portions of the application in dependence of the profiling information. The invention also relates to an apparatus (1) implementing the method and the corresponding computer program product, i.e. an application (4) thus expanded.
