Probabilistic Points-to Analysis
Information gathered by the existing pointer analysis techniques can be classified as must aliases or definitely-points-to relationships, which hold for all executions, and may a...

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...

On the Impact of Naming Methods for Heap-Oriented Pointers in C Programs
Many applications written in C allocate memory blocks for their major data structures from the heap space at runtime. The analysis of heap-oriented pointers in such programs is cr...

Pointer Analysis in the Presence of Dynamic Class Loading
Many compiler optimizations and software engineering tools need precise pointer analyses to be effective. Unfortunately, many Java features, such as dynamic class loading, refle...

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...

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...

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 ...
