Abstract

See full text

A method for initializing variables within class objects in a statically loaded object-oriented programming language. A two-phase flooding algorithm is utilized to initialize the core variables within each class along with those variables needed to be initialized before the core variables. An initialization algorithm is performed within each of the class objects in a recursive manner. Once a class object has begun the initialization process internally, calls to again begin the initialization process within that class object from another class object will result in a return in order to prevent duplicates of the initialization process from being performed within each of the class objects.
