Procedure-Based On-Line Program Replacement

프로시저 단위의 온라인 프로그램 교체

This paper presents a method for procedure-based on-line program replacement for user applications. To deal with the size change in the procedure to replace, the method uses the unmapped area of process address space for mapping a new version of procedure. The method is effective in that and it does not cause large performance loss during the replacement or require any additional software layer for the replacement. The method is illustrated in the SUN Solaris environment.
