ABSTRACT:
One or more fingerprints may be utilized in each class in order to allow for faster subtype checking. A subclass fingerprint may be utilized to track the superclasses of a class, and an interface fingerprint may be utilized to track the locally declared interfaces of the class and any interfaces which it inherits. This allows for subtype checking that is extremely fast and efficient by utilizing comparison and other logical operations during the checking.
