ABSTRACT:
A dynamic binary translator19converts a subject program17into target code21on a target processor13. For a multi-threaded subject environment, the translator19provides a global token501common to each thread171, 172, and one or more sets of local data502, which together are employed to coordinate access to a memory18as a shared resource. Adjusting the global token501allows the local datastructures502a,bin each thread to detect potential interference with the shared resource18.
