Abstract. We discuss the challenges faced by bytecode analyzers designed for code verification compared to similar analyzers for source code. While a bytecode-level analysis brings...
An object diagram makes explicit the object structures that are only implicit in a class diagram. An object diagram may be missing and must extracted from the code. Alternatively,...
A static analysis design is sufficient if it can prove the property of interest with an acceptable number of false alarms. Ultimately, the only way to confirm that an analysis d...
We discuss a declarative characterization of inheritance in logic programming. Our approach is inspired both by existing literature on denotational models for inheritance and by e...
Program bugs remain a major challenge for software developers and various tools have been proposed to help with their localization and elimination. Most present-day tools are base...
