- Sub: method dispatch data
-
-
- Larry
-
- In looking over various means of method dispatch, and method cache control
- algorithms, it strikes me that having some quantitative data on method dispatch
- would be useful.
-
- Has anyone instrumented, say, a C++ and an Object Pascal runtime to capture
- frequency data to compare things like global vs. local method dispatch caches,
- size of caches, replacement algorithms, etc. I've read the papers and the
- inversion optimization Doyle described in MacTutor seems to be all that's
- written on the subject, unless I'm missing something.
-
- Anyway, it seems like someone could instruement this stuff with a few hours
- work, and capture some real data by trying various algorithms.
-
- Pointers (or lack of any) would be appreciated.
