Abstract
A version for each of a plurality of object files in a computer program is verified by identifying a version of an object file of the plurality of object files in the computer program and comparing the identified version to an initial version. In response to the identified version being different than the initial version, an alert is generated.
Claims21
A method for verifying a version for each of a plurality of object files in a computer program, the method comprising steps of:
- identifying a version of an object file of the plurality of object files included in the computer program;
- comparing the identified version with an initial version;
- and
- generating an alert in response to the identified version being different than the initial version.
A computer readable medium on which is embedded a program, the program performing a method for verifying a version for each of a plurality of object files in a computer program, the method comprising steps of:
- identifying a version of an object file of the plurality of object files included in the computer program;
- comparing the identified version with an initial version;
- and
- generating an alert in response to the identified version being different than the initial version.
A software development kit configured to facilitate a development of an application comprising a plurality of object files, the software development kit comprises:
- a plurality of modules;
- a time stamp being utilized to identify a corresponding version of the software development kit for each of the plurality of object files;
- and
- at least one module configured to embed the time stamp within at least one of the plurality of object files, wherein the application developed with the software development kit is configured to generate an error in response to two of the object files having different time stamps.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for identifying a version of an object file of a plurality of object files included in a computer program;
- means for comparing the identified version with an initial version;
- and
- means for generating an alert in response to the identified version being different than the initial version.
