ABSTRACT:
A hash table dispatch mechanism for interface Methods. The mechanism reduces dispatch times during the execution of an object-oriented language program. An interface hash table having a pointer as an index for either a specific location in a corresponding dispatch table or an interface Method of the program is created for a dispatch table. The interface hash table has an address and a plurality of slots having a hash value related to an interface Method. The mechanism includes a recovery Method for resolving conflicts when two or more slots in the interface hash table contain clashing values.
