Exception analysis and points-to analysis are typically done in complete separation. Past algorithms for precise exception analysis (e.g., pairing throw clauses with catch stateme...
Program slicing is a potentially useful analysis for aiding program understanding. However, slices of even small programs are often too large to be generally useful. Imprecise poi...
