代码被编译成某种IL(中间语言)。当你运行你的程序时，计算机不理解这段代码。它只理解本机代码。因此JIT编译器会动态地将IL编译为本地代码。它在方法级别上执行此操作。

Just In Time编译器也称为JIT编译器 Java的性能改进。默认启用。它是 编译在执行时完成。 Java通过将JIT编译器包含在 JVM。

JVM actually performs compilation steps during runtime for performance reasons. This means that Java doesn't have a clean compile-execution separation. It first does a so called static compilation from Java source code to bytecode. Then this bytecode is passed to the JVM for execution. But executing bytecode is slow so the JVM measures how often the bytecode is run and when it detects a "hotspot" of code that's run very frequently it performs dynamic compilation from bytecode to machinecode of the "hotspot" code (hotspot profiler). So effectively today Java programs are run by machinecode execution.

即时编译器(JIT)是一种软件，它接收一个不可执行的输入，并返回要执行的适当机器代码。例如:

Intermediate representation    JIT    Native machine code for the current CPU architecture

     Java bytecode            --->        machine code
     Javascript (run with V8) --->        machine code

其结果是，对于特定的CPU体系结构，必须安装适当的JIT编译器。

区别编译器、解释器和JIT

虽然在一般情况下，当我们想要将源代码转换为机器码时可能会有例外，但我们可以使用:

Compiler: Takes source code and returns a executable Interpreter: Executes the program instruction by instruction. It takes an executable segment of the source code and turns that segment into machine instructions. This process is repeated until all source code is transformed into machine instructions and executed. JIT: Many different implementations of a JIT are possible, however a JIT is usually a combination of a compiler and an interpreter. The JIT first turn intermediary data (e.g. Java bytecode) which it receives into machine language via interpretation. A JIT can often measures when a certain part of the code is executed often and the will compile this part for faster execution.

在Java编译器生成字节代码(与体系结构无关)之后，执行将由JVM(在Java中)处理。字节代码将由加载器加载到JVM中，然后解释每个字节指令。

当我们需要多次调用一个方法时，我们需要多次解释相同的代码，这可能会花费更多的时间。所以我们有了JIT(即时)编译器。当字节被加载到JVM(它的运行时)中时，整个代码将被编译而不是解释，从而节省时间。

JIT编译器只在运行时工作，所以我们没有任何二进制输出。

正如其他人提到的

JIT代表Just-in-Time，这意味着代码在需要时才编译，而不是在运行时之前。

为了给上面的讨论补充一点，JVM维护一个函数执行时间的计数。如果该计数超过预定义的限制，JIT将代码编译为处理器可以直接执行的机器语言(不像一般情况下，javac将代码编译为字节码，然后java -解释器逐行解释这个字节码，将其转换为机器代码并执行)。

另外，下次计算此函数时，将再次执行相同的编译代码，而不像常规解释那样逐行重新解释代码。这使得执行速度更快。
