Abstract

Systems and methods for object load introspection using guarded storage are disclosed. In embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes: determining objects of interest designated by a user; splitting a first subset of a predetermined memory heap into guarded regions based on a number of objects of interest; allocating each of the objects of interest to a respective one of the guarded regions and remaining objects to a second subset of the predetermined memory heap; executing a program; detecting one of the objects of interest is loaded from one of the guarded regions; generating a trap that transfers control of the executing the program to a signal handler, wherein the signal handler is designated to perform a user-defined task associated with the one of the objects of interest; and executing, by the signal handler of the computing device, the user-defined task.
