Is Compilation Automatic?

[stonstad]

When is compilation performed for an expression? Is it automatically performed if caching is enabled, or must I manually compile expressions?

Hello @stonstad ,

I'm not sure to 100% understand your question but I will try to answer it.

When you execute an expression,

• Our library firstly try to check if the compiled lambda is already cached. If yes, it returns and uses it
• If not cached, the execute will automatically call the compile then cache it
• Then will use the returned compiled lambda for the execute

So no, you do not have to manually call the compile. Our library is smart enough to do it. On a very big loop, the compiled method will always be faster than the execute method. However, using the Execute method is usually enough as checking if the compiled lambda exists or not is really fast.

Let me know if that answers your question.

Jon
