Abstract
Techniques for reordering the data section of a computer program are provided for improving the run-time performance of the program. A computer program that comprises a data section and a code section is compiled. After the computer program has been compiled, the data section of the computer program is reordered based at least on annotation information that is included in a plurality of object files that represent the object code of the program. A specific binary file that is a specific executable version of the computer program is generated. The specific binary file includes the data section of the computer program that has been reordered. The data section of the computer program may be reordered during the linking of the plurality of the object files. Alternatively, the data section may be reordered after the computer program has been linked into a first binary file by rewriting the first binary file into the specific binary file.
