Abstract
A method, computer program, signal transmission and apparatus verify instructions in a module of a computer program during linking using pre-verification constraints with fully lazy loading. It is first determined whether a first module which is loaded has passed verification one-module-at-a-time before linking. If the first module has passed verification, a pre-verification constraint on a constrained module is read, if any. It is then determined if the constrained module is loaded, if any pre-verification constraint is read. If the constrained module is not already loaded, the pre-verification constraint is retained as a verification constraint.
