Abstract
Overriding a migrated method in an updated type is described. Instructions to invoke a particular method, in a sub-type, that overrides a migrated method, in a super-type, are identified. The instructions may invoke the particular method using a set of arguments associated with a particular set of types. The particular set of types is different from the set of parameter types associated with the particular method as defined in the sub-type. Additionally or alternatively, the instructions may include returning a value of a particular type from the particular method. The particular type is different from the return type associated with the particular method as defined in the sub-type. A new method is generated. The new method includes instructions for (a) converting the set of arguments and/or (b) converting the value returned from the particular method. The new method is stored in a runtime environment and executed.
