Abstract:
Systems and methods for identifying objects generated during program execution are provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises examining one or more data structures that include information about allocation of memory space to one or more objects; determining address space allocated to at least one of said objects based on examining said data structure; populating a reverse object map based on the examining of the one or more data structures and the determining of the address space allocated to said objects, such that one or more addresses in memory are associated with an object instantiated during program execution; and determining identity of a target object accessed during program execution in association with a respective address, in response to evaluating the respective address against the reverse object map to find the target object.

The integers corresponding to the first packed integers next to one another in the result. The integers corresponding to the second packed integers next to one another. A highest order integer of the result corresponding to a highest order integer of the first packed integers. A lowest order integer of the result corresponding to a lowest order integer of the second packed integers.
Abstract:
A search tool may search a text file for entries matching one or more search criterions. The search tool may parse the file into entries. Entries may be parsed into lines and fields. A search criterion may define possible content in two or more fields and relationship between the two or more fields. The search criterion may be defined based on an exemplary entry of the text file, such as for example based on a selection of fields of the exemplary entry by a user.
Abstract:
A method of validating binary code transformation in one aspect includes analyzing original program and transform program. Control flow graphs are generated for both programs. The two graphs are traversed to create respective linear invariant representations. The linear representations are compared to identify incorrect transformations.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing a shift operation on a packed data element having multiple values. The apparatus having multiple muxes, each of the multiple muxes having a first input, a second input, a select input and an output. Each of the multiple bits that represent a shifted packed intermediate result on a first bus is coupled to the corresponding first input. Each of the multiple bits representing a replacement bit for one of the multiple values is coupled to a corresponding second input. Each of the multiple bits driven by a correction circuit is coupled to a corresponding select input. Each output corresponds to a bit of a shifted packed result.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes an instruction decoder, first and second source registers and a circuit coupled to the decoder to receive packed data from the source registers and to unpack the packed data responsive to an unpack instruction received by the decoder. A first packed data element and a third packed data element are received from the first source register. A second packed data element and a fourth packed data element are received from the second source register. The circuit copies the packed data elements into a destination register resulting with the second packed data element adjacent to the first packed data element, the third packed data element adjacent to the second packed data element, and the fourth packed data element adjacent to the third packed data element.

Abstract:
A processor. The processor includes a decoder being coupled to receive a control signal. The control signal has a first source address, a second source address, a destination address, and an operation field. The first source address corresponds to a fist location. The second source address corresponds to a second location. The destination address corresponds to a third location. The operation field indicates that a type of packed data shift operation is to be performed. The processor further includes a circuit being coupled to the decoder. The circuit is for shifting a first packed data being stored at the first location by a value being stored at the second location. The circuit is further for communicating a corresponding result packed data to the third location.
