Program instrumentation, inserted either before or during execution, is rapidly becoming a necessary component of many systems. Instrumentation is commonly used to collect informa...
Dynamic instrumentation systems have proven to be extremely valuable for program introspection, architectural simulation, and bug detection. Yet a major drawback of modern instrum...
—Software instrumentation is a powerful and flexible technique for analyzing the dynamic behavior of programs. By inserting extra code in an application, it is possible to study...
