Abstract
A system, method, and computer-accessible medium are disclosed for identifying in-line synchronization instructions in binary program code. One or more executable segments of the binary program code may be scanned to identify one or more potential in-line synchronization instructions. For each potential in-line synchronization instruction, it may be determined whether neighboring potential instructions are valid instructions. For each potential in-line synchronization instruction, it may be determined that the potential in-line synchronization instruction is a valid in-line synchronization instruction if the neighboring potential instructions are valid instructions.
