Abstract
A method and system within a data processing system are disclosed which enable a number of object files to be linked together to construct a compact executable program. First, the number of object files to be linked together are identified. Each of the object files to be linked includes one or more debugging strings that define a variable type or associate a variable name with a variable type, where a selected variable type is uniquely specified within a particular object file utilizing a type identifier. Each type identifier within each of the number of object files is mapped to a corresponding universal type identifier that uniquely specifies a selected variable type within all of the number of object files. Debugging strings which are not repeated in any two of the number of object files are written to the compact executable program, thereby minimizing a number of debugging strings written to the compact executable program.
