  • Publication number: 20060277541
    Abstract: Executable code and data are stored in a relocatable component file format (RCFF) to allow dynamic loading of executable code and data at runtime into memory accessible by a processor running an application program. A component manager manages access to the RCFF component and stores additional information within the RCFF component so that the RCFF component can be loaded, unloaded, and/or repeatedly relocated in memory. The application program desiring access to a function or data in the RCFF component passes the name of the RCFF component and the name of the function or data to the component manager. The component manager determines the location of the function or data, calculates the address of the function or data, and returns the address back to the application program. The application program calls the RCFF component through a function pointer or an indirection, depending on the language being used.
