How about simply "known at compile time" as a compromise :-)
John.
I'm a mathematician. And I prefer "known at compile-time". It is the standard term in this context.
Also, "known in advance" is imprecise. In advance of what? Both as a mathematician and as a programmer I like precision.
OK, so let's go for "known at compile-time" :-) Bruno
