Abstract

A system and computer-implemented method for reporting a synchronization event in a runtime system of a computer system. A synchronization primitive in a runtime system of the computer system is monitored. A synchronization operation performed on the synchronization primitive by a thread in the runtime system is detected. An enumerator for the synchronization primitive is incremented when the synchronization operation satisfies predetermined criteria. A synchronization event that includes data relating to the synchronization operation performed on the synchronization primitive is reported.
