Abstract
A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for generating a single object file from which a plurality of per-processor architecture executables may be produced. Source code includes instructions that are associated with a plurality of processor architectures and a plurality of instruction sets each associated with one of the plurality of processor architectures. The source code is compiled into an object file that includes common text and data associated with the plurality of processor architectures and a plurality of processor-specific data and text sets. The object file may then be linked by a processor of one of the plurality of processor architectures to produce an executable that is optimized for a plurality of processor architectures.
