Multiple replacement functions are created using a first set of functions, where each function is called by the identified functions and a second set of functions where each function in the second set calls the identified function. Calls between functions are examined and a called function is replaced with a replacement function, such that a call to an original function results in a call to the replacement function. The original function is unaware that it is not getting function calls or that such calls are being directed to a replacement function or stub. A replacement function contains code to ensure that the user space maintains its original appearance. | 2010-04-08 |
