Wikipedia
Compile time
In computer science, compile time (or compile-time) describes the time window during which a language's statements are converted into 0s and 1s for the computer to understand. The term is used as an adjective to describe concepts related to the context of program compilation, as opposed to concepts related to the context of program execution (runtime). For example, compile-time requirements are programming language requirements that must be met by source code before compilation and compile-time properties are properties of the program that can be reasoned about during compilation. The actual length of time it takes to compile a program is usually referred to as compilation time.

Compile time
In computer science, compile time refers to either the operations performed by a compiler, programming language requirements that must be met by source code for it to be successfully compiled, or properties of the program that can be reasoned about at compile time. The operations performed at compile time usually include syntax analysis, various kinds of semantic analysis and code generation. Programming language definitions usually specify compile time requirements that source code must meet to be successfully compiled. For example, that the amount of storage required by types and variable can be deduced. Properties of a program that can be reasoned about at compile time include range-checks, deadlock freedom in concurrent languages, or timings. Compile time occurs before link time and runtime. In some programming languages it may be necessary for some compilation and linking to occur at runtime. There is a trade-off between compile-time and link-time in that many compile time operations can be deferred to link-time without incurring extra run-time.
