Hi,


may you suggest me some readings (web, books, magazines) that examplain how
compilers can implement classes (memory layout...), templates and
inheritance in compiled languages like C++ or Java? There are many
tradeoffs between memory occupation, compile-time performance and runtime
performace; I'd like to know how the various researchers solved these
problems.


Usually the standards don't mandate a precise implementation, so compilers'
writers must have deal with these problems. Are there papers or books that
on this topics that reports their attempts?

implementation of functional and logic languages. -John]
