ABSTRACT:
Techniques for monitoring memory accesses for computer programs are provided. A user can instruct a computer program to have one of more of its processes monitor memory accesses to a memory region. As memory accesses to the memory region occur, a log can be created that includes information concerning the memory accesses. The log can be analyzed in order to debug memory access bugs. Additionally, new processes can be spawned that monitor memory accesses in a way that is similar to existing processes.
