Claim 11:
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11, wherein generating the at least one updated copy of the at least one target function comprises:
in accordance with a determination that the incremental information indicates a first incremental update to a code section of a first target function, determining, by the one or more processors, whether a size of the code section changes after the first incremental update;
in accordance with a determination that the size of the code section changes after the first incremental update, generating, by the one or more processors, an updated copy of the first target function by:
generating a new code section of the target function based on the first incremental update,
in accordance with a determination that a further code section follows the code section in the first target function, reloading the further code section in the updated copy,
updating a symbol relocation section of the first target function, and
resolving at least one symbol defined in the symbol relocation section.
