ABSTRACT:
A method (and apparatus) for executing a main program having a series of machine-executable instructions in one of a program binary representation and an object code representation, including establishing a first pipeline for executing the main program and establishing a second pipeline for executing a meta-program to at least one of fetch and store meta-program information of the executing of the main program and a result of an analysis of the executing the main program. The program binary representation or object code representation of the main program is not modified by establishing the second pipeline or by executing the meta-program.
