Abstract
Methods and systems for testing a functionality of a code modification operation are described. In an example, a processor can include a processor pipeline comprising one or more execution units. The processor pipeline can execute a first thread. The processor pipeline can further execute a second thread concurrently with the execution of the first thread. The second thread can be executed to modify the first thread using a code modification operation. The processor can further include a test module configured to validate a functionality of the code modification operation based on a result of the modified first thread.
