Copy and patch is a novel compilation technique introduced in the above paper that functions (on a broad level) by stitching together code from a large library of binary implementation variants.

They provide two example use cases, a compiler for a C-like language, and a WebAssembly compiler, and show promising results for both startup time and execution performance.

| Stencil | A binary implementation that has holes where missing values must be inserted during codegen. |
| Full Compiler | A compiler that compiles from a high level language to machine code |
| Bytecode Assembler | An assembler that converts low level bytecode to machine code. |
| Baseline compiler | In tiered compilation, a baseline compiler is the first compiler. It's meant to be the fastest, with the lowest priority on generating performant code. |
