Abstract

Techniques are described for providing context for replacement functions. In one or more implementations, a context module is provided that can set context information associated with a computing device in memory such that a replacement function can retrieve the context information. When a call to a target function is intercepted and a replacement function is invoked, the replacement function can use the context information to execute one or more tasks associated with the replacement function.
