Abstract
Object layout schemes used in C++ and other languages rely on (sometimes numerous) compiler generated fields. We describe a language-independent object layout scheme, which is space optimal, that is, objects are contiguous, and contain no compiler generated fields other than a single type identifier. As in C++ and other multiple inheritance languages such as CECIL and DYLAN, the new scheme sometimes requires extra levels of indirection to access some of the fields. Using a data set of 28 hierarchies, totaling almost 50,000 types, we show that this scheme improves field access efficiency over standard implementations, and competes favorably with (the non-space-optimal) highly optimized C++ specific implementations. The benchmark includes an analytical model for computing the frequency of indirections in a sequence of field access operations. Our layout scheme relies on whole-program analysis, which requires about 10 microseconds per type on a contemporary architecture (Pentium III, 900Mhz, 256MB machine), even in very large hierarchies. We also present a layout scheme for separate compilation using the user-annotation of virtual inheritance edge that is used in C++.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
