Abstract
In a computer system, a computer program is provided having multiple sections. First and second sections of the computer program correspond to different execution environments. Each of the first section and second section is automatically compiled for its corresponding execution environment. Further, the multiple sections of the computer program may call each other via intra-program type procedure calls. These intra-program type procedure calls are automatically translated into inter-execution environment type procedure calls, between the sections, for their respective execution environments.
