Summary:An example system for compiling a source file includes an optimizer that identifies a segment of code in a first source file as a potential optimization opportunity. The first source file includes high-level source code. The example system also includes a compiler that identifies a compilation record storing data indicating that the segment of code is an actual optimization opportunity and generates a representation of the high-level source code in accordance with the actual optimization opportunity. The data is based on a previous compilation of a second source file.
