Abstract
A method for loading instruction codes to a first memory and linking said instruction codes is proposed, whereby at least one instruction code has as parameter an address which during a loading step is not determined. This address-parametered instruction code has assigned thereto an address place. A relocation information is loaded which during a linking step effects that the address becomes determined using a starting address and a relative address offset. The then determined address is put at the address place. During the loading step, directly after loading each address-parametered instruction code with its address place, the relocation information is loaded and the address is determined in the linking step.
