Compiler optimization with privatizing of a non-final object

摘要

A method for compiler optimization particularly well suited to object-oriented language that permit dynamic class loading. The method permits the compiler optimization of code associated with a potentially polymorphic object that is a call parameter to a virtual procedure where the procedure is a candidate for devirtualization through inlining. The method includes steps for guarded devirtualizing of the procedure, insertion of code to ensure privatization of the object before the procedure is executed, creation of a guard assumptions associated with the object and application of known optimization techniques to the code associated with the object.
