No book or paper, but have you had a look at the implementation
techniques used by SmallEiffel/SmartEiffel?


They have a few papers online here:
    http://smarteiffel.loria.fr/technical/technical.html


One point is that SmartEiffel analyzes the whole program for e.g.
which classes are there at all, so method calls can sometimes be
completely dispatched statically or compiled into decision trees,
so it doesn't use vtables and indirect jumps at all.


Kind regards,


Hannah.
