  • Cloning programming code
    Patent number: 7401330
    Abstract: Techniques for cloning programming code are disclosed. In an embodiment, the cloned code is in the form of functions in the C language. Further, in a method embodiment, a clone of a function is invoked, and information mapping the clone to the function is generated. At link time, if no function body of the clone is accessible by a linker, then the linker uses information mapping the clone to the function to satisfy a linker's requirement. At load time, if no function body of the clone is accessible by a loader, then the loader, based on the mapping information, allows selection of a body of the function. However, if the body function of the clone is accessible by the loader, then the loader allows selection of the body of the clone.

  • System and method for optimizing a program
    Patent number: 7275242
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to whole program analysis and, more particularly, short data optimization obtained through whole program analysis. In one embodiment, short data optimization is achieved by analyzing the program to estimate the size of existing short data and the size of any linkage tables, providing the size estimates to a compiler that is to compile the program, and compiling the program with the compiler in view of the size estimates such that a relatively large amount of data is allocated to a short data area.
