Update package generation employing matching technique with controlled number of mismatches

摘要

A generator of update packages with a matching component employs a matching technique that allows matching of programs that have been relocated to (compiled for) different memory segments. In relocated programs, the code remains the same, while the pointers assume different values, and the matching component is able to allow for such changes while still being able to match them. The matching component is able to capture in the flagged mismatches the changed pointers, addresses, etc. and thereby preserving long sections of the code that have not been modified.
