To be more exact - adresses of positionaly DEPENDENT code are resolved also only when the program is loaded into memory - it is done by loader. Positionaly INDEPENDENT code actually is such code, wich can be moved to any memory location without any additional code correction or register assignment - the code finds it's location in memory by itself.
> So is that the only property of position independent code?
What else did you expect?
