Abstract
A capability for limited customization that utilizes existing virtual dispatch table technology and allows selective customization is provided. Such a capability combines the usage of virtual dispatch tables with both customized and non-customized code to reduce, or even eliminate over-customization. Further, such a capability may employ a runtime system that decides what methods to customize based on several factors including, but not limited to the size of a class hierarchy, the amount of available space for compiled code, and the amount of available time for compilation.
