Abstract
A system and method for creating synthetic immutable classes. A processor identifies first and second classes, instances of which include first and second data fields, respectively. The first data fields include a data field that references the second class. In response to determining that the first class is immutable and the second class is immutable, the processor constructs a first synthetic immutable class, an instance of which comprises a combination of the first data fields and the second data fields. The processor creates an instance of the first synthetic immutable class in which the first data fields and the second data fields occupy a contiguous region of a memory. In response to determining the first synthetic immutable class does not include an accessor for the second class, the processor combines header fields of the first and second data fields into a single data field in the first synthetic immutable class.
