Dynamic Probe Class Library (DPCL) is an object-based C++ class library that provides the necessary infrastructure to allow tool developers and sophisticated tool users to build parallel and serial tools through technology called dynamic instrumentation. DPCL takes the basic components needed by tool developers and encapsulates them into C++ classes. Each of these classes provide the member functions necessary to interact and dynamically instrument a running application with software patches called probes. Dynamic instrumentation provides the flexibility for tools to insert probes into applications as the application is running and only where it is needed.
