Patent abstract
A method for implementing virtual method invocation when a compiled code of an invoked method is shared between class types that share a runtime representation is provided. In this method, an entry of an inline cache is set to a reference to an object. Subsequently, instructions for calling code are modified and the inline cache is set to be in one of an unresolved state, a monomorphic state, a shared monomorphic state, or a megamorphic state. A computer readable medium and a system for implementing virtual method invocation are also described.
