Data races occur when multiple threads are about to access the same piece of memory, and at least one of those accesses is a write. Such races can lead to hard-to-reproduce bugs t...
There exists a large variety of techniques to detect and correct software security vulnerabilities at the source code level, including human code reviews, testing, and static anal...
