separate compilation

<programming> A feature of most modern programming languages that allows each program module to be compiled on its own to produce an object file which the linker can later combine with other object files and libraries to produce the final executable. Separate compilation avoids processing all the source code every time the program is built, thus saving development time. The object files are designed to require minimal processing at link time. They can also be collected together into libraries and distributed commercially without giving away source code (though they can be disassembled). Examples of the output of separate compilation are C object files (extension ".o") and Java ".class" files. (2005-02-19)

Separate Tables

Separate Tables is the collective name of two one-act plays by Terence Rattigan, both taking place in the Beauregard Private Hotel, Bournemouth, on the south coast of England. The first play, titled Table by the Window, focuses on the troubled relationship between a disgraced Labour politician and his ex-wife. The second play, Table Number Seven, is set about 18 months after the events of the previous play, and deals with the touching friendship between a repressed spinster and Major Pollock, a kindly but bogus man posing as an upper-class retired army officer. The two main roles in both plays are written to be played by the same performers. The secondary characters – permanent residents, the hotel's manager, and members of the staff – appear in both plays. The plays are about people who are driven by loneliness into a state of desperation.
