Dynamic Addition of Code in Shared Libraries

A client computing device, comprising:

• a memory storing a compiled shared library;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a first set of code segments and a first set of code sites associated with a first application, wherein:
• each code site in the first set of code sites comprises an address within the compiled shared library;
• the compiled shared library includes one or more dummy instructions inserted at each code site in the first set of code sites;
• and
• each code segment in the first set of code segments is associated with a code site in the first set of code sites;
• and
• inserting each code segment in the first set of code segments at its associated code site in the compiled shared library.
