Abstract
Access is obtained to an input object-oriented computer program. In the input object-oriented computer program, semantically equivalent objects are identified, which exist in different memory locations. If at least one of: a number of occurrences for the semantically equivalent objects exceeds a first threshold value, the threshold value being at least two; and a number of equality tests on the semantically equivalent objects exceeds a second threshold value, then a further step includes identifying an application program interface to reduce the semantically equivalent objects to a single object in a single memory location.
