-Such addresses must be loaded with the aid of an auxiliary registers. After linking these addresses are known and must be corrected in the code. For this purpose a table called //fixups// is maintained. It contains all references to the objects, which were created by the class file reader and whose final addresses must be inserted into the code. In order to know at what position in the machine code array a certain correction has to be made, the next position is stored in the instruction //addi// as an immediate operand beginning with the last position (//lastFixup//).
