Abstract
A system and method for optimizing the object code of a computer program is disclosed. The method includes receiving one or more object code units from the memory; identifying first and second identical program entities in the one or more object code units, wherein each program entity has an object code segment and an associated address; updating the one or more object code units by merging the first identical program entity with the second identical program entity if neither of the first and second program entities is subject to an operation on the respective program entity's address; and linking the updated one or more object code units into an executable program.
