Abstract
A computer-implemented method for transforming a library from a source operating system to a target operating system is disclosed. Thereby, the source operating system comprises an ABI, the target operating system comprising a target ABI, the target ABI being different from the source ABI, the library being implemented by a source object file that is compliant with the source application binary interface and comprising a source memory image, source symbol and source relocation information. The method comprises also creating a target memory image, that is compliant with the target application binary interface, wherein the target memory is derived from the source memory image, enriching the target memory image with an address information pointing to a variable length information, and writing the target memory image to the target object file to implement the transformed library by the target object file.
