Claim 5:
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein generating the at least one updated copy of the at least one target function further comprises:
in accordance with a determination that the incremental information indicates a second incremental update to a symbol section of a second target function, determining, by the one or more processors, whether the symbol section is a symbol relocation section;
in accordance with a determination that the symbol section is a symbol relocation section, generating, by the one or more processors, an updated copy of the second target function by:
updating the symbol relocation section of the second target function based on the second incremental update, and
resolving at least one symbol defined in the symbol relocation section; and

in accordance with a determination that the symbol section is not a symbol relocation section, creating, by the one or more processors, a new symbol section in the second updated copy based on the second incremental update.
