A platform independent binary object (PIBO) operable on disparate computing environments that have a selected hardware architecture without requiring rebuilding or reloading is provided. The PIBO can be parsed to generate source-code stub file. The PIBO can be loaded and linked with a cooperating computing application by an exemplary linker/loader employing the stub file. Also, the PIBO can be used in various contexts, including but not limited to, as a mechanism for dynamically linking shared objects on platforms that do not offer such native facility; in utilizing pre-written code components on platforms that otherwise would be incompatible due to a violation of platform constraints within particular code; as a mechanism for loading non object-oriented code that circumvents restrictions of multiple execution instances and repeat execution inherent in the code; and as mechanism that allows for the use of a binary object to add on functionality on a closed platform.
A system for dynamically loading and linking a single binary object file across a plurality of software platforms and operating systems executing on a defined processor architecture without requiring recompiling or rebuilding of the binary object file comprising:
A method to integrate a binary object across a plurality of software platforms and operating systems without requiring recompiling or rebuilding of the binary object comprising:
A computer readable medium having computer readable instructions to instruct a computer to perform a method comprising:
A computer readable medium having computer readable instructions to instruct plurality of software platforms and operating systems to cooperate with a platform independent dynamic library (PIDL) comprising:
A method to process a binary object for use across a plurality of software platforms and operating systems without recompiling or rebuilding the binary object for each of the plurality of the software platforms and operating systems comprising:
A method to distribute a computing library update for use across disparate computing software environments operating on a defined processor architecture as a binary object that is not recompiled or rebuilt for each of the disparate computing software environments comprising:
