From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) :


  constant folding
       
           A compiler optimisation technique where
          constant subexpressions are evaluated at compile time.  This
          is usually only applied to built-in numerical and boolean
          operators whereas partial evaluation is more general in that
          expressions involving user-defined functions may also be
          evaluated at compile time.
