Abstract

See full text

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for creating objects in a virtual machine. The system operates by receiving a request to create an object within an object-oriented programming system. Upon receiving the request, if a meta-class instance associated with the object does not already exist, the system creates a structure to represent the meta-class instance in a data space that is not subject to garbage collection. If an explicit instruction to create the meta-class instance is detected, the system creates the meta-class instance within a garbage-collected data space.
