ABSTRACT:
An embodiment generally relates to a method of increasing efficiency in a dynamic linker. The method includes determining a length of a source string and a check segment of the source string and selecting a candidate string from a plurality of strings. The method also includes determining a candidate check segment of the candidate string based on the length of the source string and verifying the source string and the candidate string are identical in response to the check segment of the source string being identical to candidate check segment.
