ABSTRACT:
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that provides targeted patching for native generation images. Changed binaries are updated with information that indicates whether or not they contain safe changes. A servicing process can then be provided for a client machine. For any compatible binaries with changes that have been identified as safe, a native generation update is performed that includes recompilation of the compatible binaries with the safe changes, and an updating of binding information for any dependent binaries. For any non-compatible binaries with changes that have been identified as unsafe, a native generation update is performed that includes recompilation of any non-compatible binaries and any dependent binaries.
