Abstract
Aspects of the invention are directed to a systems and methods for operating a non-native binary in dynamic binary translation environment. In accordance with an embodiment, there is provided a computer program product in a computer readable medium. The product includes program code for receiving a non-native binary in a computer readable medium and program code for translating the non-native binary. Additionally, the product includes program code for executing the translated non-native binary, the non-native binary including one or more threads, and program code for pausing execution of the translated non-native binary. The product also includes program code for providing guest instruction boundary information to a monitoring process and program code for analyzing a state of each thread of the translated non-native binary. Moreover, the product includes program code for fast-forwarding at least one thread so that its state is consistent with the guest instruction boundary.
