ABSTRACT:
Dynamic Addressing (DA) is provided that uses a Centralized DA Manager to manage function calls, global variable, and constant variable references among components of software code. The DA Manager is generated during the process of linking the components and is loaded along with the code into client device memory. References from one component to another are stored in the DA Manager along with the address of each component. In an embodiment, the DA Manager includes linker-defined symbols stored in fixed addresses, such that the linker-defined symbols consistently provide the current address for data requested from another component. Changes to a component during file upgrades that result in location changes of the component in memory are recorded by the DA Manager, thereby maintaining the integrity of references to the component present in the code.
