How to translate “lazy initialization”?

Question

From wikipedia

In computer programming, lazy initialization is the tactic of delaying the creation of an object, the calculation of a value, or some other expensive process until the first time it is needed.

So, how would “lazy initialization” or “lazy loading” be translated in French?

I was thinking of something like “initialisation tardive/paresseuse”, but I am unsure about this translation.

Answer 1

Well, lazy evaluation is already called évaluation paresseuse, which is a specific case of lazy initialization, so initialisation paresseuse seems fine. French Wikipedia says that you could use retardée ("delayed") instead of paresseuse, but that word seems used a lot less.

Answer 2

Bien que cela n'ait rien d'officiel,

• initialisation non prioritaire
• initialisation autonome
• initialisation décalée
• initialisation ad tempum (ou à temps)
• initialisation au bon moment

peuvent être proposées comme définition secondaire.
