STANDALONE DYNAMIC LINK EDITOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103887 titled 'STANDALONE DYNAMIC LINK EDITOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for executing a software program by separating a dynamic link editor from the process executing the program. The dynamic link editor performs dynamic linking operations for the process before it executes its first instruction.
- Separating dynamic link editor from process execution
- Dynamic link editor residing outside the process
- Performing dynamic linking operations before process execution
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various fields such as software development, cybersecurity, and system optimization.
Problems Solved
1. Streamlining software execution process 2. Enhancing security by separating dynamic link editor from process
Benefits
1. Improved software performance 2. Enhanced system security 3. Simplified software development process
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing software development processes for efficiency and security.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to dynamic linking techniques in software development.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact software development timelines?
This technology could potentially speed up software development timelines by streamlining the dynamic linking process and enhancing overall system performance.
What potential security risks could arise from separating the dynamic link editor from the process execution?
There could be potential security risks if the separation is not implemented properly, leading to vulnerabilities in the system. It is essential to address and mitigate these risks during the implementation of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure provides techniques for executing a software program by separating a dynamic link editor from a process executing the software program. for example, the dynamic link editor can reside outside of the process being dynamically linked and would perform dynamic linking operations for the process before the process executes its first instruction. such techniques optionally complement or replace other methods for executing a software program.
