Application 09/754,785
THE INVENTION
The disclosed invention is directed to a method and system for
receiving a software module, the software module including references,
where at least some of the references are backward references. The method
includes reordering the software module to remove at least some of the
backward references. An alternate disclosed embodiment provides a method
and system for receiving a software module sequentially. The software
module has at least one symbol reference. The method further includes
loading the software module into a target memory space and resolving the
symbol references in the software module without storing the entire software
module in local memory while the symbol references are resolved
(Specification 3).
Representative claims 1 and 16 are illustrative:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a software module, the software module including
references to locations within the software module, at least some of the
references being backward references; and
reordering components of the software module to remove at least
some of the backward references.
16. A method, comprising
receiving a software module sequentially, the software module having
at least one symbol reference;
linking the software module onto a target memory space; and
resolving the at least one symbol reference without storing the entire
software module in local memory while the symbol reference is resolved.
