Abstract
An interpreter serves for a programming language. It first receives information specifying names and the like of multiple applications written in the programming language. Then, the interpreter generates individual application areas corresponding to the applications for storing data required for execution of the applications. It also generates a task for each of the applications and executes the application in the task. If the interpreter detects a new class in required classes during execution of the individual applications, it loads bytecodes for the new class in a shared area. Also, if the new class has a class variable, the interpreter allocates a class variable area for the class variable which corresponds to the application. Furthermore, to access a class variable during execution of an application, the interpreter accesses a class variable area for the class variable in the individual application area corresponding to the application.
