What does lifelong mean in this context?
“Such lifelong code optimization techniques encompass interprocedural optimizations performed at link-time (to preserve the benefits of separate compilation), machine-dependent optimizations at install time on each system, dynamic optimization at runtime, and profile-guided optimization between runs (‘idle time’) using profile information collected from the end-user.”
