29 * The {@code Compiler} class is provided to support Java-to-native-code
30 * compilers and related services. By design, the {@code Compiler} class does
31 * nothing; it serves as a placeholder for a JIT compiler implementation.
32 *
33 * <p> When the Java Virtual Machine first starts, it determines if the system
34 * property {@code java.compiler} exists. (System properties are accessible
35 * through {@link System#getProperty(String)} and {@link
36 * System#getProperty(String, String)}. If so, it is assumed to be the name of
37 * a library (with a platform-dependent exact location and type); {@link
38 * System#loadLibrary} is called to load that library. If this loading
39 * succeeds, the function named {@code java_lang_Compiler_start()} in that
40 * library is called.
41 *
42 * <p> If no compiler is available, these methods do nothing.
