A method of instrumenting one or more units of an application program is disclosed. Each unit can have one or more interfaces through which communications pass through the unit. Client units can request creation of a server unit. When they do so, the call is intercepted and sent to a unit creation function, which creates the server unit and returns a reference to an interface of the server unit. When a reference to an interface of the server unit is detected, an interface wrapper is created for the interface, the interface wrapper comprising a reference to instrumentation, the reference to the interface, and a reference to a type description of the interface. The client receives a reference to the interface wrapper in place of a reference to the interface, and thereafter is able to treat the reference to the interface wrapper as if it were a reference to the interface.

I claim: 1. A method of instrumenting one or more units of an application program, wherein a unit comprises one or more interfaces through which communications to and from the unit pass, and wherein a client unit requests creation of a server unit, the method comprising, with an instrumentation tool that includes a processor and memory:intercepting a call from a client unit to a unit creation function to create a server unit;routing the call to the unit creation function, wherein the unit creation function creates the server unit and returns a reference to an interface of the server unit;detecting the reference to the interface returned from the unit creation function;creating an interface wrapper for the interface, the interface wrapper comprising a reference to instrumentation, the reference to the interface, and a reference to a type description of the interface; andreturning to the client unit a reference to the interface wrapper in place of the reference to the interface, wherein the client unit treats the reference to the interface wrapper as the reference to the interface.
