Abstract

A method and system for profiling API shims is described herein. The system includes a profiler, a profiling application program interface (API), and a profiling shim. The profiling shim intercepts communications between the profiler and the profiling API. Calls from and to the profiler are chained through the profiling shim. The profiling shim may further log calls to functions from and to the profiler and/or validate the profiler's usage of the profiling API.
