  • System and method for flexible software linking
    Patent number: 6976221
    Abstract: A loading and linking process allows for the flexible loading and linking of software modules into a memory space, without regard to the order in which symbols are defined and referenced in such software modules, and without generating dangling references. An unloading process allows for software module unloading/unlinking from an already linked set of software modules, also without generating dangling references. A loading/linking system may be used to perform these processes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2003
    Date of Patent: December 13, 2005
    Assignee: Wind River Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Pierre-Alain Darlet, Thierry C. Preyssler, David N. Wilner

  • System and method for linear processing of software modules
    Publication number: 20020087956
    Abstract: A method is described that includes receiving a software module, the software module including references, at least some of the references being backward references; and reordering the software module to remove at least some of the backward references. The method may be used in conjunction with a linker/loader to facilitate sequential linking and loading of the software module.
