Abstract

See full text

A system and method of eliminating some of the indirect addressing associated with Position Independent Code (PIC). The invention applies cross-module optimization to dynamic linking of shared libraries. A definition table is built that defines where each symbol within an application program and associated shared library is defined. Also stored in the definitions table is an associated attribute. The definition table is utilized to eliminate indirect addressing wherever possible. As a result, overall system performance is increased.
