A system and method is provided to facilitate communications between object systems. A caller is provided having optimized in-lined functionality when initiating a remote function call between managed and unmanaged object systems, for example. The in-lined functionality includes utilizing direct calls and returns within a calling function. In this manner, pushing additional arguments onto an execution stack because of an external stub reference is mitigated. In addition, one or more code loops can be analyzed to enable stack markers to be “hoisted” and thus pushed a single time instead of each time the calling function executes. Other aspects of the optimized caller provide garbage collection and thread management, security attribute checking on outgoing calls, calling convention considerations, wherein arguments and return values are organized according to the convention utilized by the remote object system, and in-lined marshalling to provide enhanced performance over external stub code references. Code extensibility options can be included enabling functions to be generalized thereby insulating object systems from implementation details of the called functions.

Triggered remote function calls can be used in master-slave systems to trigger slave-side software functions pre-loaded by a master into slave MCU memory, with associated parameters pre-loaded into a slave function interface memory. A master issues trigger-function signals (such as rising / falling edges or signal levels) over a trigger-function signal line. The slave includes a trigger conditioning block that in response issues a trigger-function request to the slave MCU, which calls / executes the associated software function, including accessing the associated trigger-function parameters from function interface memory. A slave can include a hardware function block with functionality configurable by a pre-loaded software configuration function (with associated parameters). A master can include a hardware function block configured to issue trigger-function signals. The slave (trigger conditioning block) can be configured to service trigger-function signals as an IRQ (interrupt request) to the MCU, which executes an ISR (interrupt service routine) as a triggered function call.
