  • Optimized code generation by eliminating unused virtual function
    Patent number: 8887131
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing the object code size of an application that requires run-time dispatching of object oriented methods. The method comprises scanning an object file corresponding to the application for references to object oriented methods in a dispatch table that performs run-time object oriented method binding. The highest inheritance level associated with an object oriented method is found. All references to object oriented methods above the highest inheritance level are designated as unused. All references to object oriented methods below the highest inheritance level are designate as used. All references to object oriented methods that are designated as unused are deleted from the dispatch table.
