More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a method of generating updated object code of a computer program, the updated object code being suitable for the generation of an updated memory image to be loaded into a storage medium having stored thereon a current memory image corresponding to a current version of a computer program. The method comprises receiving at least one updated input code module from which the updated object code is to be generated; processing at least the updated input code module to generate at least one updated object code module adapted to be linked by a linker component as to generate the updated memory image; performing at least one optimisation process to reduce differences between said updated object code module and a corresponding one of a number of current object code modules, the number of current object code modules corresponding to the current version of said computer program.
