Type and Effect Annotations for Safe Memory Access in C
In this paper, we present a novel type and effect analysis for detecting memory errors in C source code. We extend the standard C type system with effect, region, and host annotat...

How is aliasing used in systems software?
We present a study of all sources of aliasing in over one million lines of C code, identifying in the process the common patterns of aliasing that arise in practice. We find that ...

PSE: explaining program failures via postmortem static analysis
In this paper, we describe PSE (Postmortem Symbolic Evaluation), a static analysis algorithm that can be used by programmers to diagnose software failures. The algorithm requires ...

Speculative Register Promotion Using Advanced Load Address Table (ALAT)
The pervasive use of pointers with complicated patterns in C programs often constrains compiler alias analysis to yield conservative register allocation and promotion. Speculative...

Data-Flow Analysis of Program Fragments
Traditional interprocedural data-flow analysis is performed on whole programs; however, such whole-program analysis is not feasible for large or incomplete programs. We propose fr...
