Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the execution of a software program. During operation, the system determines a structure of a software program and an execution context for the software program from a set of possible execution contexts for the software program, wherein the software program includes one or more object instances. Next, the system uses the structure and the execution context to identify a portion of an object instance from the one or more object instances that is determined to inefficiently use memory space in the software program. The system then provides a refactoring of the object instance that reduces use of the memory space in the object instance.
