This paper presents the results of an exploratory experiment investigating the use of program metrics to predict reachability graph size, reachability graph generation time, and d...
Understanding program dependencies in a computer program is essential for many software engineering tasks such as program understanding, testing, debugging, reverse engineering, a...
Program analysis and optimizationcan be speeded upthrough the use of the dependence flow graph (DFG), a representation of program dependences which generalizes def-use chains and...
It is known that interprocedural detection of copy constants and elimination of faint code in parallel programs are undecidable problems, if base statements are assumed to execute...
