In [[computer science]], '''dynamic recompilation''' is a feature of some [[emulator]]s and [[virtual machine]]s, where the system may [[Compiler|recompile]] some part of a [[Computer program|program]] during execution. By compiling during execution, the system can tailor the generated code to reflect the program's run-time environment, and potentially produce more efficient [[code]] by exploiting information that is not available to a traditional static [[compiler]].
