Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates execution of a software program. During operation, the system obtains one or more user-defined rules for configuring a memory layout of an object instance in a software program, wherein the one or more user-defined rules are created separately from source code for the software program. Next, the system generates the memory layout of the object instance by applying the one or more user-defined rules to one or more fields of the object instance. The system then executes the software program using the generated memory layout of the object instance.
