Combined Code Motion and Register Allocation Using the Value State Dependence Graph
We define the Value State Dependence Graph (VSDG). The VSDG is a form of the Value Dependence Graph (VDG) extended by the addition of state dependence edges to model sequentialise...

The logical approach to stack typing
We develop a logic for reasoning about adjacency and separation of memory blocks, as well as aliasing of pointers. We provide a memory model for our logic and present a sound set ...
