Abstract
Generating a next build version of a software application using information generated during a previous build version at the compiler and linker levels. The information describes the structure and build decisions applied during creation of the previous build version. Generation of the current build version is modified based on the information to minimize the binary differences between the builds. In some embodiments, a linker arranges the contents during the previous build in anticipation of the current build. Further, the linker pads the previous build with unused address space to minimize relocation of the contents of the build.
