DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF COMPOSABLE API SETS

摘要

Systems and methods for composing a dynamic runtime API set schema employing a base API set schema and a set of API set schema extensions are disclosed. A base API set schema may be loaded into system memory at boot time with an associated set of host base binaries. A set of API set schema extensions binaries may also be loaded into system memory at boot time. At a second time, the API set schema extensions may be merged into the base API set schema on a dynamic as-needed basis.

1. A method for composing a dynamic runtime API set schema for a set of applications in a computer system, said computer system comprising a controller, a system memory and an operating system, the method comprising:
loading a base API set schema into system memory at a first time, said base API set schema further comprising: a set of base API contracts and, for each said base API contract, a set of associated host binaries; merging a set of API set schema extensions into system memory at a second time, said API set schema extensions further comprising: a set of extension API contracts and, for each said extension API contract, a set of associated extension binaries; wherein further said extension API contracts comprise one of a group, said group comprising: base API contracts and new API contracts; wherein further said extension binaries comprise one of a group, said group comprising base binaries and new binaries.
