ABSTRACT:
A system and method for compiling and linking a source file is described. A compiler generates class information pertaining to object-oriented classes referenced in the source file. The class information is sufficient to enable a linker to resolve class definitions and to perform class relocation operations. The compiler also generates an object file from the source file. The object file includes the class information. The compiler generates the object file such that resolution of class definitions and performance of class relocation operations are delayed until operation of the linker. A linker links the object file potentially with at least one other object file or shared library to thereby generate an executable file or shared library. The linker uses the class information contained in the object file to resolve class definitions and to perform class relocation operations.
