Sorry for the confusing title :P

I'm sure I should know this but I always have trouble with terminology. I can't figure out the right word to put in the blank space in the following sentence:

Different weaving strategies are usually classified according to the phase of _______________ at which they are performed, resulting in the categories static weaving, load-time weaving, just-in-time weaving and run-time weaving.

So, basically: compilation, load, run,... are phases of... what? The word eludes me!

Thanks so much.

Binding is probably the word I'd put in there. It applies as much to computers as it does to the loom :-)

"Program lifetime" is the only term I can think of.

Different weaving strategies are usually classified according to the phase of "Processing" at which they are performed, resulting in the categories static weaving, load-time weaving, just-in-time weaving and run-time weaving.

I also like Binding that Pax has mentioned before.

I think they are not phases of anything, but rather self-referencing descriptions of particular events. What are lunch time and dinner time phases of?

"Different weaving strategies are usually classified according to when they are performed, ..."

  • I see what you mean and it's true that in the title I asked about compile-time, load-time, etc, but in the body of the question I ask "compilation, load, run,... are phases of... what?". Surely they're phases of something, aren't they? – Alix Jun 24 '10 at 00:16
