Abstract

A prolog based object oriented language, SPOOL, is introduced and its language processor, which compiles SPOOL codes into Prolog codes, is described. This paper considers optimizing compilation techniques for generating efficient codes which reduce not only number of accesses to the Prolog database, but also the dynamic method search. Internal representations of methods and states of objects are also presented so that the above techniques can be realized. Finally, this language processor is evaluated and compared with an earlier interpreter which we developed.
