Region-based memory management offers several important potential advantages over garbage collection, including real-time performance, better data locality, and more efficient us...
We present an analysis to automatically determine if a program represents a continuous function, or equivalently, if infinitesimal changes to its inputs can only cause infinitesim...
Program analysis has been increasingly used in software engineering tasks such as auditing programs for security vulnerabilities and finding errors in general. Such tools often re...
