MIMICKING OF FUNCTIONALITY EXPOSED THROUGH AN ABSTRACTION

摘要

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for mimicking functionality of an application platform. At runtime, an analysis is performed of an application platform to identify how a desired functionality is implemented by the application platform. When the analysis reveals that the application platform is using a known function that can be mimicked, a handshake with the application platform is bypassed and the desired functionality is mimicked. To mimick the functionality, the known function is started for the application platform that uses the desired functionality. An entry point of the known function is detected. Machine instructions are decoded in the known function. Code that mimicks an effect of the machine instructions is generated. The code that mimicks the effect of the machine instructions is then executed.
