This International Standard can be used with benefits on all kinds of platforms. This International Standard's most immediate interest is for deploying portable applications on small footprint devices. This International Standard provides dramatic savings of dynamic memory and execution time without sacrificing any of the flexibility usually attached to the use of non-pre-linked portable code. This International Standard is especially important to provide a complete solution to execute portable programs of which code size is bigger than the available dynamic memory. This International Standard is also very important when fast reactivity of programs is impor
