This paper proposes a pointer alias analysis for automatic error detection. State-of-the-art pointer alias analyses are either too slow or too imprecise for finding errors in real...
Computer systems often fail due to many factors such as software bugs or administrator errors. Diagnosing such production run failures is an important but challenging task since i...
