Runtime Instrumentation for Precise Flow-Sensitive Type Analysis
We describe a combination of runtime information and static analysis for checking properties of complex and configurable systems. The basic idea of our approach is to 1) let the p...

Verifying the Safety of User Pointer Dereferences
Operating systems divide virtual memory addresses into kernel space and user space. The interface of a modern operating system consists of a set of system call procedures that may...

RELAY: static race detection on millions of lines of code
Data races occur when multiple threads are about to access the same piece of memory, and at least one of those accesses is a write. Such races can lead to hard-to-reproduce bugs t...

Estimating the Impact of Scalable Pointer Analysis on Optimization
This paper addresses the following question: Do scalable control-flow-insensitive pointer analyses provide the level of precision required to make them useful in compiler optimiza...

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...
