Abstract
A device may detect a modification of a class, included in program code, from a first class definition to a second class definition that is different from the first class definition. The device may create a relationship indicator that references the second class definition and that indicates that the class has been modified. The device may store an association between the class and the relationship indicator. The device may access an instance of the class associated with the first class definition. The device may detect the association between the class and the relationship indicator based on accessing the instance of the class. The device may update the instance of the class, using the second class definition, based on detecting the association between the class and the relationship indicator.
