An Efficient Platform for the Automatic Extraction of Patterns in Native Code

Algorithm 5

Pattern detector rule to recognize RET patterns.

Function  RET_pattern_detector⁢(instruction)

 if    is not _ _RETURN__  then

   return null

 end if

 _

 while not    is RET do

    next(instruction)

 end while

 return  (, (_, next(instruction)))
