[…] any of the […] options can be "permanently" excluded at installation time (will also save the memory for the corresponding code excerpts due to our Dynamic Dead Code Elimination), or it can be disabled or enabled at any later time via API functions in case someone wants to keep a user from being able to reboot the machine. […] we are considering to add more synchronous cache flush calls […] Due to our Dynamic Dead Code Elimination method this would not cause any kind of bloating when not needed in a particular target configuration as a particular cache flush call would be included in FreeKEYB's runtime image only if the corresponding disk cache is loaded as well or FreeKEYB was told by command line switches to load the corresponding support.
[…] FreeKEYB builds the driver's runtime image at initialization time depending on the type of machine it is being loaded on, the type of keyboard, layout, country and code page used, the type of mouse and video adapter(s) installed, the other drivers loaded on that system, the operating system and the load and relocation method(s) used, the individual features included, and the configuration options specified in the command line. Due to the large number of command line switches and options supported […] (around fifty switches […] with multiple possible settings) there is a high number of feature combinations with uncountable dependencies […] resulting in […] endless number of […] different target images.

[…] Lazy evaluation is basically dynamic dead code elimination. […](NB. Possibly the first public use of the term dynamic dead-code elimination, though only conceptually and with a focus on lazy evaluation in functional languages.)
[…] brandneue[s] Feature, der dynamischen Dead-Code-Elimination, die die jeweils notwendigen Bestandteile des Treibers erst zum Installationszeitpunkt zusammenbastelt und reloziert, so daß keine ungenutzten Code- oder Datenbereiche mehr resident bleiben (z.B. wenn jemand ein bestimmtes FreeKEYB-Feature nicht benötigt). […](NB. This represents the first known implementation of byte-level granular dynamic dead-code elimination for software assembled or compiled ahead-of-time.)
