Using Programmer-Written Compiler Extensions to Catch Security Holes
This paper shows how system-speci c static analysis can nd security errors that violate rules such as \integers from untrusted sources must be sanitized before use" and \do n...

Symbolic pointer analysis revisited
Pointer analysis is a critical problem in optimizing compiler, parallelizing compiler, software engineering and most recently, hardware synthesis. While recent efforts have sugges...

Alias Analysis by Means of a Model Checker
We study the application of a standard model checker tool, Spin, to the well-known problem of computing a may-alias relation for a C program. A precise may-alias relation can signi...

Dynamic Slicing in the Presence of Unconstrained Pointers
Program slices are useful in debugging. Most work on program slicing to date has concentrated on nding slices of programs involving only scalar variables. Pointers and composite v...
