Low-level program analysis is a fundamental problem, taking the shape of “flow analysis” in functional languages and “points-to” analysis in imperative and object-oriente...
Many opportunities for easy, big-win, program optimizations are missed by compilers. This is especially true in highly layered Java applications. Often at the heart of these misse...
