Is there a compiler feature to inject custom function entry and exit code?

Question

Currently coding on Windows with VS2005 (but wouldn\'t mind knowing if there are options for other compilers and platforms. I\'m most interested in OSX as an alternative pl

Answer 1

OpenWatcom C and C++ compilers have -ee and -ep parameters for that:

-ee           call epilogue hook routine
-ep[=]   call prologue hook routine with  stack bytes available

They will cause the compiler to emit calls to __EPI and __PRO user-defined hook routines.

There is also

-en           emit routine names in the code segment

that will emit the function name into the object code as a string of characters just before the function prologue sequence is generated. May be useful for the __PRO routine.

More information in these and other compiler options can be found in the C/C++ user guide available among other manuals at http://openwatcom.org/index.php/Manuals
