METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC PROCESS MONITORING THROUGH AN ANCILLARY CONTROL CODE SYSTEM

A method and apparatus for improving the process of software development by a dynamic software development tool. The present invention allows the execution of an emulation tool to occur under the control of the original user process and preserves the execution flow of the user process instructions. The present invention manages the execution of the emulation tool within the computer memory. The present invention uses the user process code as data to direct the execution of the emulation tool. The present invention enables the use of other software development tools such as monitoring and profiling tools, program analysis tools, simulation tools, and software debugging tools.
