Abstract

In present computing systems having dynamic linked libraries (DLLs), the user must either explicitly provide directives at the source level or use linker and loader support provided by the computing system. The present invention enables an application programmer to use unmodified source code in conjunction with a compiler, prelinker and runtime library to develop and use DLLs. A DLL can be extended by adding new functions and variables without requiring users of the DLL to recompile or relink their application.
