Mechanism employing a memory area for exchanging information between a parent process and a child process compiled during execution of the parent process or between a run time compiler process and an application process

摘要

A computer system includes a central processing unit, a parent process for execution by the CPU, a child process for execution by the CPU, a memory accessible by the CPU, and a run time compiler. The memory includes a memory area for access by both of the parent process and the child process. The run time compiler includes a function port for invoking the compiler during execution of the parent process. A first compiler routine compiles the child process. A second compiler routine executes the child process. A calling chain employs the memory area to exchange information, such as data atoms, between the child process and the parent process.
