Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided. A processor receives an executable file for execution by an operating system, where the executable file includes a plurality of sections in a first order. A processor determines a second order that indicates a loading order for the plurality of sections, where the second order is distinct from the first order. A processor loads the plurality of sections of the executable file into a plurality of locations in memory of a device based on the second order. A processor resolves one or more memory references for the plurality of sections based on the plurality of locations in memory. A processor executes the plurality of sections of the executable file in the plurality of locations in memory.
