compile time

The time it takes to translate a program from source language into machine language. Linker time may also be included in compile time. See compile and linker.

(programming)

compile time - The period of time during which a program's source code is being translated into executable code, as opposed to run time when the program is being executed. As well as the work done by the compiler, this may include macro preprocessing as done by cpp for example. The final stage of program construction, performed by the linker, would generally also be classed as compile time but might be distinguished as link time.

For example, static data in a C program is allocated at compile time whereas non-static data is allocated at run time, probably on the stack.
