Abstract
A system for packaging a dynamically linked computer program function includes a compiler configured to compile a source file iteratively to create a plurality of corresponding object files, the source file associated with a specific computer program function having an established an attribute, with each attribute exhibiting a plurality of at least one of variations, characteristics and parameters, wherein each iteration of the compiling the source file results in the plurality of object files having the specific computer program function but with each object file having distinct attributes from one another; and a linker configured to link the plurality of resulting object files to create a single executable file, such that the single executable file comprises different versions of the specific computer program function; and wherein the single executable file is configured to facilitate choice of a selected version of the specific computer function.
