Abstract
Modern software systems are often built from existing library
components. A common problem is how to fix bugs when source code is not
available. Xept is an instrumentation language and tool that can be used
to add to object code the ability to detect, mask, recover and propagate
exceptions from library functions. This helps to alleviate or avoid a
large class of errors resulting from function misuses. Examples are
given to show applications of Xept in actual software systems
