A platform independent binary object (PIBO) operable on disparate computing environments that have a selected hardware architecture without requiring rebuilding or reloading is provided. The PIBO can be parsed to generate source-code stub file. The PIBO can be loaded and linked with a cooperating computing application by an exemplary linker/loader employing the stub file. Also, the PIBO can be used in various contexts, including but not limited to, as a mechanism for dynamically linking shared objects on platforms that do not offer such native facility; in utilizing pre-written code components on platforms that otherwise would be incompatible due to a violation of platform constraints within particular code; as a mechanism for loading non object-oriented code that circumvents restrictions of multiple execution instances and repeat execution inherent in the code; and as mechanism that allows for the use of a binary object to add on functionality on a closed platform.
