Abstract
A method of loading a program, wherein a relative address format file is transformed into a program format including a set of records each having an instruction and instruction relocation information, and wherein a loader receives the records one by one from a file of the above-mentioned program format, transforms the relative format program into an absolute address format program, and loads the absolute address format program on the memory.
Claims30
A method of loading a program comprising the steps of:
- when reading a sequentially transformable relative address format program, including a set of records each record having an instruction and instruction relocation information corresponding to said instruction, sequentially relocating instructions by reading said records of said sequentially transformable relative address format program one by one to thereby generate an absolute address format program.
A method of loading a program comprising the steps of:
- transforming a first relative address format program including an instruction string and relocation information into a second relative address format program including a set of records each record having an instruction and instruction relocation information corresponding to said instruction;
- and
- sequentially relocating instructions by reading said records of said second relative address format program one by one to thereby generate an absolute address format program.
A method of loading a program comprising the steps of:
- transforming a first relative address format program including an instruction string and relocation information into a second relative address format program including a set of records each record having an instruction and instruction relocation information corresponding to said instruction;
- dividing said second relative address format program into a plurality of storage units;
- and
- storing said plurality of storage units in storage media.

A method of loading a program comprising the steps of:
- when reading a sequentially transformable relative address format program, including a set of encrypted records each encrypted record having an instruction and instruction relocation information corresponding to said instruction, sequentially relocating instructions by reading and decrypting said encrypted records of said sequentially transformable relative address format program one by one to thereby generate an absolute address format program.
A method of loading a program comprising the steps of:
