PLATFORM-AGNOSTIC DIAGNOSTIC DATA COLLECTION AND DISPLAY

摘要

A data collection system may instrument and collect data from arbitrary executable code by loading the executable code into memory and instrumenting the code according to monitoring conditions. The instrumentation may include pointers or bindings to a data collector that may gather and store information when the monitoring condition exists. A display module may allow a programmer to browse the results. The data collection system may operate on any type of native code or intermediate code and may operate with or without symbol tables.
