Abstract
Systems, computer instructions and computer-implemented methods are disclosed for implementing space- and time-efficient enumerations. An instance of an enumeration class may be created with a constant, plurality of enumerations. A plurality of objects corresponding to the respective enumerations may be stored in memory along with a lookup table indexed by respective ordinal values of the plurality of enumerations, the lookup table including respective references to the stored objects of the instantiated enumeration class. A reference to an enumeration may be stored in a memory location by storing an ordinal value of the enumeration. A determination may then be made to convert a stored ordinal value to a reference to an object, and responsive to the determination, the ordinal value may be loaded and used as an index into the lookup table to obtain the reference to the object corresponding to the enumeration.
