Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates execution of a software program. During operation, the system displays a visualization of a memory layout of an object instance in a software program, wherein the visualization includes one or more fields in the object instance. Next, the system receives user input that customizes the memory layout. The system then processes the user input by updating the displayed visualization to reflect customization of the memory layout by the user input and storing, in association with the software program, one or more rules that, when processed during instantiation of the object instance, configure the memory layout of the object instance based on the user input.
