A front-end compiler generates unique instructions for virtual method calls in intermediate representation code that may be passed to a back-end compiler. A back-end compiler in accordance with the preferred embodiments receives the intermediate representation code, and processes the unique instructions to generate therefrom equivalent code with explicit method calls, where possible. The machine code from the back-end compiler is then executed using sample inputs to generate profile data. The profile data and intermediate representation code are fed into the back-end compiler, which then generates code that may devirtualize virtual method calls according to the profile data by providing one or more explicit method calls for target methods that have an execution frequency (as indicated by the profile data) that exceeds a predetermined threshold.
