ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for optimizing an executable computer program having address-bridging code segments. Various embodiments are described for optimizing an executable computer program that occupies a first address space and has address-bridging code segments. Address-bridging code segments, target code segments referenced by the address-bridging segments, and calling code segments that reference the address-bridging segments are identified during execution of the program. A second address space is allocated for storage of relocated functions. The calling code segments and the target code segments are relocated to the second address space, and references to the address-bridging code segments are replaced with references to the target code segments in the second address space. For references to the calling code segments in the first address space, control is directed to the calling code segments in the second address space.
