One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that resolves references in an in-place execution file for a platform-independent virtual machine into physical addresses. During operation, the system receives an in-place execution file in which references have been replaced with in-place encoded metadata specifying attributes of the references. The system then resolves a reference by obtaining in-place encoded metadata for the reference from a location in the in-place execution file, using the in-place encoded metadata to determine an address of an associated referent, and then replacing the in-place encoded metadata at the location in the in-place execution file with the address of the referent.
