ABSTRACT:
An executable program is prepared from a plurality of object code modules, each object code module including section data and associated relocations and at least one of the object code modules further including code sequences at least some of which are like to be repeatedly included in the executable program. Wherever a code sequence is to be inserted, a relocation instruction specifies the location of the code sequence and the code sequence is inserted into the section data at the appropriate point. A linker, a method for assembling, and a computer program product support these operations.
