Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: compiling, using a compiler, a first source code of a first computer program to generate a first object code and, during compilation of the first source code, for each function of the first source code compiled by the compiler, entering into a first module entry point list an identifier indicating the function; receiving an update for the compiler; responsive to receiving the update for the compiler, determining, using a processor processing the first module entry point list associated with the first computer program, whether any of the functions of the first source code were compiled by at least one compiler module to be changed by the update for the compiler; and responsive to determining that at least one of the functions of the first source code was compiled by the at least one compiler module to be changed by the update for the compiler, determining that the first source code of the first computer program is a candidate to be recompiled with an updated version of the compiler having the update for the compiler applied.
