1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • inputting an intermediate-language code having a size-indefinite variable generating a native code based on the intermediate-language code, including generating a size-definite variable corresponding to the size-indefinite variable according to at least one machine-specific criterion; and

    outputting the native code, wherein generating the native code further comprises receiving a location of a variable within an ordered list of variables of the intermediate-language code, an order of the ordered list being based on a length of the variables to size-indefinite variables, and determining whether the variable comprises a size-indefinite variable by referencing the location of the variable against variable-size boundaries of the list.
