/pes'@mi:z`ing k@mpi:lr/ , n. [antonym of techspeak optimizing compiler ] A
|
|
|
|
|
compiler that produces object code that is worse than the straightforward or
|
|
|
|
|
obvious hand translation. The implication is that the compiler is actually
|
|
|
|
|
trying to optimize the program, but through excessive cleverness is doing
|
|
|
|
|
the opposite. A few pessimizing compilers have been written on purpose,
|
|
|
|
|
however, as pranks or burlesques.
