Serialization of pre-initialized objects

摘要

An illustrative embodiment for serialization of pre-initialized objects receives a source code definition of a class, identifies a set of constants associated with the class in the source code to form a set of identified constants, creates a result object corresponding to each constant in the set of identified constants, and compiles the source code into a compiled form of the class. The illustrative embodiment further serializes each result object into a resource file associated with the class to form a set of serialized objects and replaces, in the compiled form of the class, each reference to a respective constant associated with the class from the set of identified constants with a corresponding dynamic instruction using a respective serialized object in the set of serialized objects.

1. A computer-implemented process for serialization of pre-initialized objects, the computer-implemented process comprising:
receiving a source code definition of a class; programmatically evaluating the received source code definition to identify therein each of a plurality of constants associated with the class in the source code; creating a result object corresponding to each of the plurality of identified constants, each result object representing a value of the corresponding identified constant; compiling the source code into a compiled form of the class; serializing each result object into a resource file associated with the class, thereby forming a set of serialized objects; and replacing, in the compiled form of the class, each reference to any of the plurality of identified constants with a corresponding dynamic instruction that, when executed at run-time, will dynamically provide the value of the identified constant, within the compiled form of the class, from the corresponding serialized object in the set of serialized objects.
