 | | It is, however, possible to put the dope vectors at fixed offsets from some base, which might, in extreme cases, need to be computed at runtime. |
 | | If we assume that dope vectors may be used to describe the actual types, and that these dope vectors may have fixed size, then these may be placed where we have indicated instance variables. |
 | | The data in the dope vectors may then be used to allocate storage for the indicated fields, either at the end of the object-segments indicated above, or elsewhere in the heap or stack. |
