  • Compiler merging new and preexisting modules while preserving function order
    Patent number: 5522079
    Abstract: A compiler which merges two output files into a third output file. First, the compiler generates a new output file by compiling an input file. Next, the compiler searches for an existing output file for a substantially similar purpose as the new output file, i.e. the preexisting implementation file. The code modules from the new and existing output files are then interleaved to preserve the sequence of related code modules.
