It works like this. Let's say your program has ten object files, two of
which contain the code necessary to call main(). Xcode will only link
those two objects, and will dynamically link the other objects at run
time. You can make code changes to the other modules and have the
dynamic loader actually change the behavior of your application while
it's still running, without recompiling or relinking. (You have to
compile the one module, obviously.)
I seem to remember that this basic feature was in SGI's cvd debugger
some time ago, but I can't recall how it worked exactly.
