    Pin++: An Object-oriented Framework for Writing Pintools
    (ACM, 2015) Hill, James H.; Feiock, Dennis C.; Department of Computer & Information Science, School of Science
    This paper presents a framework named Pin++. Pin++ is an object-oriented framework that uses template metaprogramming to implement Pintools, which are analysis tools for the dynamic binary instrumentation tool named Pin. The goal of Pin++ is to simplify programming a Pintool and promote reuse of its components across different Pintools. Our results show that Pintools implemented using Pin++ can have a 54% reduction in complexity, increase its modularity, and up to 60% reduction in instrumentation overhead.
