Abstract:
Embodiments relate to using a local entry point with an indirect call function. A compiler is provided to determine and indicate 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. The compiler loads an address of a function through use of a symbolic reference. When the compiler determines that the value employed by the symbolic reference is used exclusively to perform an indirect function call, the compiler proceeds to resolve a local entry point address of the function, thereby reducing a quantity of operations to be executed.

Claim (Index 8):
The computer program product of  claim 7 , wherein the indication that the first symbolic reference can be resolved using the local entry point address of the function further comprises the program code to insert the local entry point address in the generated program code.
