    • 1995, Charles Calvert, Teach Yourself Windows 95 Programming in 21 Days, page 1170:
      As a result, many compilers automatically allocate blocks of memory and then parcel chunks out to programs with a suballocator when needed. That is, the compiler allocates a chunk of some 4,000 bytes and then parcels this memory out to you in bits and pieces when you need it.
    • 2013, Keith Lee, Pro Objective-C, page 24:
      The recommended Apple Objective-C compiler, Clang/LLVM (versions 4.2 and above) provides support for autosynthesis of declared properties. This means that the compiler will automatically synthesize declared properties []
