  • Replacement of virtual functions
    Patent number: 9348610
    Abstract: Techniques are described for replacement of virtual functions. In one or more implementations, a call to a virtual function is intercepted and redirected to a shim module associated with a replacement function. The shim module is configured to adjust a pointer (e.g., a “this” pointer) for the virtual function. In at least some embodiments, the pointer can be adjusted based on information retrieved from symbol data for the virtual function. The replacement function can utilize the adjusted pointer to access an object instance associated with the virtual function. For example, the replacement function can use the adjusted pointer to access data and/or functionalities of the object instance.

  • Context for replacement functions
    Patent number: 8695022
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing context for replacement functions. In one or more implementations, a context module is provided that can set context information associated with a computing device in memory such that a replacement function can retrieve the context information. When a call to a target function is intercepted and a replacement function is invoked, the replacement function can use the context information to execute one or more tasks associated with the replacement function.
