Methods, systems, and media for binary compatibility

A system for binary compatibility, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor that is configured to:
• receive, from a foreign application, a function call having one or more arguments to at least one surrogate function, wherein the at least one surrogate function is contained in a surrogate library, and wherein the surrogate library corresponds to a foreign library associated with a foreign function call;
• identify a domestic function corresponding to the at least one surrogate function;
• set a pointer identifying a block of memory that is local to a thread associated with the surrogate function to point to a first portion of memory associated with the domestic function;
• invoke the identified domestic function using the one or more arguments;
• store values including one or more error codes returned from the invoked domestic function;
• set the pointer to point to a second portion of memory associated with the foreign function call;
• copy the one or more error codes to the second portion of memory;
• and
• continue to execute the foreign application.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for binary compatibility, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a foreign application, a function call having one or more arguments to at least one surrogate function, wherein the at least one surrogate function is contained in a surrogate library, and wherein the surrogate library corresponds to a foreign library associated with a foreign function call;
• identifying a domestic function corresponding to the at least one surrogate function;
• setting a pointer identifying a block of memory that is local to a thread associated with the surrogate function to point to a first portion of memory associated with the domestic function;
• invoking the identified domestic function using the one or more arguments;
• storing values including one or more error codes returned from the invoked domestic function;
• setting the pointer to point to a second portion of memory associated with the foreign function call;
• copying the one or more error codes to the second portion of memory;
• and
• continuing to execute the foreign application.
