Abstract

See full text

An object-oriented program is modified to create objects within specified regions, allowing memory de-allocation to take place for entire regions at once. The contents and associations between the regions are described by one or more shape graphs, which are created from an analysis of the program code. The region association metadata stored by the shape graphs allows the region-based memory management to take place while requiring no more than one region to be passed to methods for each object passed.
