Study of library functions recognizing technology in binary translation
二进制翻译中的库函数识别技术研究

A new processor architecture poses significant risk to software developers, hinder the popularization of the new architecture. Binary translation offers solutions for automatically converting executable code to run on new architectures. The library functions recognizing technique in I2A binary translator was introduced. Especially a new approach of library function recognizing problem was given. It is a simple and practical method to recognizing library functions based on the calling conventions of IA-64 architecture and observation of the program instance. It is proved to be effective by the I2A translation system.
