Abstract
Dynamic optimization is emerging as a promising approach to overcome many of the obstacles of traditional static compilation. But while there are a number of compiler infrastructures for developing static optimizations, there are very few for developing dynamic optimizations. We present a framework for implementing dynamic analyses and optimizations. We provide an interface for building external modules, or clients, for the DynamoRIO dynamic code modification system. This interface abstracts away many low-level details of the DynamoRIO runtime system while exposing a simple and powerful, yet efficient and lightweight, API. This is achieved by restricting optimization units to linear streams of code and using adaptive levels of detail for representing instructions. The interface is not restricted to optimization and can be used for instrumentation, profiling, dynamic translation, etc.. To demonstrate
