Abstract:
Embodiments relate to using a local entry point with an indirect call function. More specifically, an indirect call function configuration comprises a first application module having a target function of the indirect function call, a second application module with a symbolic reference to the target function of the indirect function call, and a third application module to originate an indirect function call. A compiler determines and indicates, in the program code, that the function pointer value resulting from a non-call reference of a function symbol is solely used to perform indirect calls in the same module, e.g. local-use-only. A linker or loader can read the indication the compiler made in the program code. The linker or loader use the local entry point associated with the target function if the target function is defined in the same module as the reference and is local-use-only.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein the loader uses the local entry point associated with the target function.
