An empirical evaluation of test case filtering techniques based on exercising complex information flows
Some software defects trigger failures only when certain complex information flows occur within the software. Profiling and analyzing such flows therefore provides a potentially i...

Field analysis: getting useful and low-cost interprocedural information
We present a new limited form of interprocedural analysis called field analysis that can be used by a compiler to reduce the costs of modern language features such as objectorien...

A Livelock Freedom Analysis for Infinite State Asynchronous Reactive Systems
We describe an incomplete but sound and efficient livelock freedom test for infinite state asynchronous reactive systems. The method s a system into a set of simple control flow cy...

A compiler framework for speculative analysis and optimizations
Speculative execution, such as control speculation and data speculation, is an effective way to improve program performance. Using edge/path profile information or simple heuristi...

Finding application errors and security flaws using PQL: a program query language
A number of effective error detection tools have been built in recent years to check if a program conforms to certain design rules. An important class of design rules deals with s...
