METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING ACCESS TO GLOBAL DATA BY A PLURALITY OF CODES IN AN INTEGRATED EXECUTABLE FOR A HETEROGENEOUS ARCHITECTURE

In the present invention, global information is passed from a first execution environment to a second execution environment, wherein both the first and second processor units comprise separate memories. The global variable is transferred through the invocation of a memory flow controller by a stub function. The global descriptor has a plurality of field indicia that allow a binder to link separate object files bound to the first and second execution environments.
