Abstract
Synchronization points are inserted into a program code to be monitored, and are associated with different branches resulting from execution of an indirect branch instruction. The synchronization points can be accessed by the monitored program code for the purpose of identifying which branch to use during execution of the indirect branch instruction of the monitored program code.
