Linking Module Problem?

[Hristo Stevic]

Hi,
I was just reading a book, about the address relocation and so on
The linking module according to the book links many objects code into
one module , translating the addresses to *absolute* address

However, if i do have two cooperative say JAVA files, all what i get is
two classes ( object code), so where is that module which groups these
two modules?

Object Code is it binary? i think so , it is the machine code, right?

Not truly absolute addresses in all cases. Often the addresses remain
relocatable, according to where the executable is loaded.

The earliest linkers worked in memory, and, having built the module on
the fly, immediately ran it. (IBM mainframes have it to this day as a
high-performance alternative to the regular linker for compile-and-go
situations.) Java still works this way.
