Executing machine code in memory

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to execute machine code stored in memory.

I have the following code:

#include 
#include          


        

Answer 1

Use the operating system for loading and executing programs.

On unix, the exec calls can do this.

Your snippet in the question could be rewritten:

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    return execv(argv[1],argv+2);
}
