Abstract
A static object system is provided to allow for code for implementing a run-time environment to be automatically generated that is compatible with a high-order systems programming language such as C. In particular, the meta-object system is static, object-oriented, and uses generic functions that can dispatch to an appropriate member function based on the types of one or more arguments. In one embodiment, the generated dispatch code uses a multi-way conditional branch.
