Execution
Consider the sequential execution of the list of statements, s(i), and what can now be observed as the computation at statement, j:
- A definition at statement s(i) with i < j is alive at j, if it has a use at a statement s(k) with k ≥ j. The set of alive definitions at statement i is denoted as A(i) and the number of alive definitions as |A(i)|. (A(i) is a simple but powerful concept: theoretical and practical results in space complexity theory, access complexity(I/O complexity), register allocation and cache locality exploitation are based on A(i).)
- A definition at statement s(i) kills all previous definitions (s(k) with k < i) for the same variables.

Famous quotes containing the word execution:
“If I were asked to chose between execution and life in prison I would, of course, chose the latter. It’s better to live somehow than not at all.”

“I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.”
—Gabriel Péri, French Communist leader. Letter, July 1942, written shortly before his execution by the Germans. Quoted in New York Times (April 11, 1943)
“I herewith commission you to carry out all preparations with regard to ... a total solution of the Jewish question in those territories of Europe which are under German influence....
