ABSTRACT:
A method and system to build a control flow graph by execution of micro-sequences using hardware. Some illustrative embodiments are a processor comprising fetch logic that retrieves an instruction from a memory, the instruction being part of a program, and decode logic coupled to the fetch logic which decodes the instruction, wherein the instruction decoded by the decode logic triggers execution of a micro-sequence to enter the instruction in a control flow graph.
