Abstract:
A computer system, comprising:computer hardware for performing native system services;a procedural operating system, having a native interface, for controlling the computer hardware to perform the native system services;object oriented methods requiring native system services;procedural program logic code, responsive to invocations of the object-oriented methods during runtime, for causing the procedural operating system to control the computer hardware to perform the required native system services;executable program memory associated with the computer hardware for runtime execution of the procedural operating system, invocations of the object-oriented methods and related portions of the procedural program logic code;means for making determinations during runtime execution if object-oriented methods to be invoked are present in the executable program memory; anda runtime loader, responsive to the determinations, to selectively load required object-oriented methods into the executable program memory during runtime before invocation of the object-oriented methods.
