Remapping component facilitating a link between an executable and a function held in an extension dynamic link library.

摘要

A remapping component is provided for facilitating a link between an executable and a function held in a new dynamic link library (DLL) in a computing device. The remapping component is provided with a relocation instruction arranged to update, upon loading, an export data table entry for the remapping component with the address location of the function in the new dynamic link library. In this way, the executable, when calling for the function at an address location in a known DLL, will automatically jump to the address location for the function in the new DLL. The additional subroutines usually associated with remapping DLLs can therefore be avoided, providing improved operation for the computing device.
