Efficient Method Lookup Customization for Smalltalk
Original language description
Programming languages are still evolving, and programming languages and language features are being designed and implemented every year. Since it is not a trivial task to provide a runtime system for a new language, existing runtime systems such as the Java Virtual Machine or the Common Language Runtime are used to host the new language. However, most of the high-performance runtime systems were designed for a specific language with a specific semantics. Therefore, if the new language semantics differsfrom the semantics hard-coded in a runtime system, it has to be emulated on top of features supported by the runtime. The emulation causes performance overhead. To overcome the limitations of an emulation, a runtime system may provide a meta-object protocol to alter the runtime semantics. The protocol should fulfill opposing goals: it should be flexible, easy to use, fast and easy to implement at the same time. We propose a simple meta-object protocol for customization of a method lookup
