OBJECT LINKAGE DEVICE FOR LINKING OBJECTS IN STATICALLY LINKED EXECUTABLE FORMAT PROGRAM FILE, METHOD FOR LINKING OBJECTS, AND PROGRAM THEREOF

摘要

When a modification is applied to a statically linked executable program file, in the executable program file, an old object is replaced with a new object by adding the new object to a bottom of already-existing objects without changing the location of the old object. The reference relationship of symbols among objects is updated and resolved, and thereby a modification is applied. Accordingly, the period for applying a modification can be shortened.
