Semi-sparse flow-sensitive pointer analysis
Pointer analysis is a prerequisite for many program analyses, and the effectiveness of these analyses depends on the precision of the pointer information they receive. Two major a...

Practical and Accurate Low-Level Pointer Analysis
Pointer analysis is traditionally performed once, early in the compilation process, upon an intermediate representation (IR) with source-code semantics. However, performing pointe...

Level by level: making flow- and context-sensitive pointer analysis scalable for millions of lines of code
We present a practical and scalable method for flow- and contextsensitive (FSCS) pointer analysis for C programs. Our method analyzes the pointers in a program level by level in ...
