Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for locating a function call site in a code segment of a running application, the code segment including a plurality of instructions. The call site is the location of an invocation of a function and includes a first reference, the first reference being a reference to a first dispatcher. The call site in the code segment is modified by replacing the first reference with a second reference, the second reference being a reference to second dispatcher, the second dispatcher different from the first dispatcher.
