In this research project, we have successfully improved the performance of our extensible C++ compiler, OpenC++. This improvement also enables us to show that reflection is effective in a wider range of programming than the range previously known. The followings are actual results of this project : 1) we developed an efficient library for groupware. 2) we developed a new model of reflective computation called a compile-time MOP.3) we implemented a prototype object system on top of Scheme. 4) we studied a revised metacircular architecture called a meta-helix architecture. 5) we redesigned OpenC++ to be a compile-time MOP,developed a new compiler, and released it to the public in the internet. 6) we showed that reflection can be used to improve the efficiency of class libraries such as a vector library and the STL.7) we developed a class library with that the users can transparently use Tcl/tk.We published research papers about those results at local/international conferences and journals. One of these papers were awarded by Japan Society for Software Science and Technology.
