ABSTRACT:
A method of indexing memory addresses associated with objects in a program file. In the prior art, a file has a single fixup record section which contains information necessary to determine memory addresses once the file is loaded onto the computer system. In the present invention, the fixup records are located within pages defined in the program file (e.g., data or text pages), and the fixup records are chained, that is, a given fixup record is based on a previous fixup record. In this manner, the overall size of the file is significantly reduced by reducing the collective size of all of the fixup records.
