Abstract

An inline expansion process copies a first method of the first software component into a first method of a second software component is performed so that the copied first method is executable when the second method of the second software component is executed. The first method from the first software component is copied into metadata that is attached to the first method of the second software component. The copy of the first method in the metadata is used to validate that the first method in the first software component has not been updated.
