This paper describes an approach that enables the fast constant-time and memory-efficient runtime handling of interface data types as found in several object-oriented programming languages like Java. It extends an idea presented by League et al. [22] to attach an itable to a class object to obtain an interface object. A practical implementation of this approach based on an automated rather than a manual type conversion is presented. Its practibility in the context of Java is evaluated by an adaptation in the SableVM [15]. Several measures for its improvement have been derived and implemented. The adoption of the resulting technique for the implementation of interface method dispatches within SHAP [26, 32], a small-footprint embedded implementation of a Java bytecode processor, is described. This realization currently also contains a tradeoff compromising some generality of the support for interface typecasts while it ensures both a small memory demand as well as a fast constant-time interface method dispatch. The loss of generality is shown to be a minimal practical impact under the measures taken before.
