Can you tell me how to go ahead. I saw the patches but they are for linux build.

Your company’s stuff is pretty interesting, hope your clients realize how awesome this stuff is. The paper doesn’t really mention any non-obvious instrumentation stuff, but thanks anyways.

Branch Coverage for Arbitrary Languages Made Easy” at http://www.semanticdesigns.com/Company/Publications/ for a discussion on how to instrument arbitrary languages using a program transformation tool. The relevance is that a program transformation tool like DMS can transform C++ source code (it has a robust C++ front end). Given that you are working on Pork (I’m unclear on how this is different than Oink?) that uses Elsa, I would have thought the ideas in this paper would have been, er, obvious.

Of course, you can also get a C++ profiler from us, that works using exactly this technique.
