Handling dynamically linked function calls with respect to program code conversion

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a translator, subject code for execution on a subject processor, wherein the received subject code comprises a dynamically linked subject function call;
• detecting a modification to a procedure linkage table associated with the subject code;
• associating the dynamically linked subject function call with code for performing corresponding functions;
• and
• adding, in response to the detecting of the modification, an entry to a function linkage table associated with the translator, the entry comprising:
• an identifier corresponding to the dynamically linked subject function call;
• and
• a location of the code for performing the dynamically linked subject function call.

A translator apparatus arranged to receive subject code for execution on a subject processor and generate target code for execution on the target processor;

• comprising:
• a processor,
• a function linkage table;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, coupled to the processor, and
• logic, stored on the computer-readable storage medium and executed on the processor, to:
• receive subject code for execution on a subject processor, wherein the subject code comprises a dynamically linked subject function call;
• detect a modification to a procedure linkage table associated with a dynamically linked subject function call of the subject code;
• associate the dynamically linked subject function call with subject code for performing a function corresponding to the dynamically linked subject function call;
• and
• add an entry to the function linkage table, the entry comprising:
• an identifier corresponding to the dynamically linked subject function call;
• and
• a location of the code for performing the dynamically linked subject function call.
