Patent abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for updating running processes. In particular, a jump instruction is injected into the first instruction line of a function that has been updated. The jump instruction redirects the program to a location within a jump table containing the address of the first instruction of an updated function. Injection of the jump instruction can be made without stopping execution of the application, thereby allowing a patch to be installed without interrupting application services.
