Tracking pointers with path and context sensitivity for bug detection in C programs
This paper proposes a pointer alias analysis for automatic error detection. State-of-the-art pointer alias analyses are either too slow or too imprecise for finding errors in real...

Breadcrumbs: Efficient Context Sensitivity for Dynamic Bug Detection Analyses
Calling context--the set of active methods on the stack--is critical for understanding the dynamic behavior of large programs. Dynamic program analysis tools, however, are almost ...

Precise pointer reasoning for dynamic test generation
Dynamic test generation consists of executing a program while gathering symbolic constraints on inputs from predicates encountered in branch statements, and of using a constraint ...
