Hotpatching a C Function on x86 « null program

Hotpatching a C Function on x86 « null program: "In this post I’m going to do a silly, but interesting, exercise that should never be done in any program that actually matters. I’m going write a program that changes one of its function definitions while it’s actively running and using that function. Unlike last time, this won’t involve shared libraries, but it will require x86_64 and GCC. Most of the time it will work with Clang, too, but it’s missing an important compiler option that makes it stable."
