Hardbound: architectural support for spatial safety of the C programming language
The C programming language is at least as well known for its absence of spatial memory safety guarantees (i.e., lack of bounds checking) as it is for its high performance. C'...

Binding-Time Analysis and the Taming of C Pointers
The aim of binding-time analysis is to determine when variables, expressions, statements, etc. in a program can be evaluated by classifying these into static (compile-time) and dy...

Precise Call Graph Construction in the Presence of Function Pointers
The use of pointers presents serious problems for software productivity tools for software understanding, restructuring, and testing. Pointers enable indirect memory accesses thro...

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...

Exploiting Pointer and Location Equivalence to Optimize Pointer Analysis
Abstract. Pointer information is a prerequisite for most program analyses, and inclusion-based, i.e. Andersen-style, pointer analysis is widely used to compute such information. Ho...
