I left out a few words. If necessary, the compile happens when the run
button is pressed. The results of the compile are saved and reused if
no changes are made to the VI and the version is the same.
In reality a VI gets recompiled, if necessary, when the VI is saved, and
when needed for execution. Saving handles the executable creation, and
the run button handles interactive editing.
