Abstract:
In an embodiment, a first execution path in a program is determined that has been executed a largest number of times, as compared to at least one other path in the program. Swapped instructions are replaced in the program with breakpoints, wherein the swapped instructions are not on the first execution path. The breakpoints that are not on the first execution path and that are contiguous to each other are replaced in the program with a control word.
