(C++) compile time

compile time is the term used for:

• the time it takes to compile. Techniques to shorten this are:
  • use of forward declarations
  • use of pimpl idiom
  • use of precompiled header files
• properties known when compiling. For example, the factorial of any (compile time) constant is known. Template metaprogramming shifts the runtime calculations to compile time
