Semantic dictionary encoding
 | This article needs more citations. (March 2026) |
Semantic dictionary encoding (SDE) preserves the full semantic context of source programs while adding further information that can be used for accelerating the speed of code generation. SDE forms a code-generating loader. It is a form of bytecode combined with a JIT compiler. It is code generation at load time.[1]
In an elementary form, the dictionary entries represent nodes in a directed acyclic graph (DAG), that describes the actions of the program, as an abstract syntax tree (AST) in tabular form.[1]
It uses an intermediate representation (IR), that is based on the encoded abstract syntax tree and symbol table of a program.[2]
