Compiled programs will typically use building blocks ( functions ) kept in a library of such object code modules.
32.
Since most of executed instructions were encoded in a single byte, the object code for Kronos was very compact.
33.
When computer users buy software, they get a version called object code, in language understandable only by the machine.
34.
This object code is the " object language ", and varies depending on what CPU is being given the instructions.
35.
NeXTSTEP, macOS, and iOS are examples of systems that have used this format for native executables, libraries and object code.
36.
A compiler verifies code syntax, generates efficient object code, performs run-time organization, and formats the output according to linker conventions.
37.
The compiler parses the intrinsic functions and converts them into vector math or multiprocessing object code appropriate for the target platform.
38.
Because Purify works by instrumenting all the object code, it detects errors that occur inside of third-party or operating system libraries.
39.
For proprietary software, the provisions of the various copyright laws, compilation to object code include code encryption, code obfuscation or code morphing.
40.
Software piracy falls under the Copyright Act 1987 which protects the source code of computer software as well as the object code.
