ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for dynamically replacing code. In one arrangement, the system and method pertain to intercepting original program instructions during execution of the program, determining if an original program instruction is to be replaced, and dynamically replacing the program instruction with a replacement instruction if it is determined that the original program instruction is to be replaced.
