Static program analysis techniques cannot know certain values, such as the value of user input or network state, at analysis time. While such unknown values need to be treated as ...

Automatic tools for finding software errors require knowledge of the rules a program must obey, or “specifications,” before they can identify bugs. We present a method that ...

We present a new approach to static program analysis that permits each expression in a program to be assigned an execution time estimate. Our approach uses a time system in conjun...

Compile-time code transformations which expose instruction-level parallelism (ILP) typically take into account the constraints imposed by all execution scenarios in the program. H...

As a starting point for static program analysis a control flow graph (CFG) is needed. If only the binary executable is available, this CFG has to be reconstructed from sequences ...

Inaccurate documentation can mislead programmers and cause software to fail in unexpected ways. We examine mismatches between documented and actual error codes returned by 42 Linu...

Automaton-based static program analysis has proved to be an effective tool for bug finding. Current tools generally re-analyze a program from scratch in response to a change in t...

We propose static program analysis techniques for identifying the impact of relational database schema changes upon object-oriented applications. We use dataflow analysis to extra...
