Android compilers labelled as Jack and Jill for Google

These six years have been a year of great change for Android development. This Android technology which had been developed in late 2008 has been a boon for the smartphones across the world. There have been massive changes for the existing multimedia and apps for the ecosystem. With the advancement in operating system there has been change in the existing elements. Other factors have become redundant for usage. We had earlier seen the development of Android Lollipop. But now a recent app development for compilers has been developed with the name of Jack and Jill. The Jack and Jill compilers shall replace javac and dex compilers that are used in markets by the developers. Google has planned big for these compiling times ahead. Thus enhancing the development experience in future times ahead.

Now let us see the working of this Jack and Jill compilers. Jack and Jill shall play input and output tool chain in case of each compilation. The source code of javac is converted to the standard java codes. Hence this is a part of two-step process. This is in turn converted to Dalvik code by dex compiler. Certain functions may be used to optimize the whole process and the output. Let us see the function of Jack compiler. This compiler can directly convert to .dex format for the raw code. While passing the source code to the Jack compiler, Jill compiler converts the code to an intermediate format of code. Hence Jayce and .dex codes shall be used in future. The future of Android is growing and Google shall be playing a major role in this development. The best way to reduce the compilation times for developers ahead, this Jack and Jill compilers may be beneficial. Hence one can depend on the faster evolution that is seen for the future.
