Abstract:
A core file derived from an application crash is created. The application belongs to a source platform and is run on a target platform. The application is emulated on the target platform. In response to the crash occurring, detecting whether the crash corresponds to the failure of a process corresponding to the emulated application. The crash process is mediated by intercepting information relating to the failure of the emulated application and writing a core file corresponding to the failure of the emulated application running on the source platform. A dynamic binary translator performs the steps and debugs an emulated application as if it had crashed and dumped a core file on its native platform.
Abstract:
The method, an apparatus, and/or a system of cross-platform architecture for replicating profiling scheme in a computer system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for forming profiling information of one computer platform in another computer platform includes generating instrumented code by a code instrumenter using a target platform code. The method further includes generating the profile information that the source platform profiling tools can decipher and utilize using the instrumented code, and generating a profile report by analyzing the generated profile information using the source platform profiling tools in a dynamic binary translator that can be used by the dynamic binary translator (DBT) to generate target platform code. In addition, the method may include translating source platform object code into the target platform code using the DBT.
