Abstract

A computer system is configured to override an original behavior of a function at runtime. Overriding the original behavior of the function at runtime includes identifying an override behavior for overriding the original behavior of the function, and encoding replacement code based on the override behavior. Further, a size of the replacement code is identified, and a first memory address of the function where code of the function is stored is also identified. The computer system then copies a block of code having the size of the replacement code from the first memory address to a second memory address, and copies the replacement code to the first memory address. After the replacement code is executed, copying the block of code stored at the second memory address back to the first memory address, restoring the code of the function.
