Abstract

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for operating on type instances. One example method includes identifying a reference to a type instance during execution of a child control flow. The child control flow is associated with one or more ancestor control flows. One or more stack frames associated with the ancestor control flows are searched for a prior instantiation of the type instance. Access to the prior instantiation of the type instance in an identified stack frame associated with an identified ancestor control flow is provided in response to determining that the prior instantiation of the type instance exists in the identified stack frame. A new instance of the type instance is instantiated in a stack frame associated with the child control flow in response to determining that the prior instantiation of the type instance does not exist in the one or more stack frames.
