About This Book

Pointer analysis is one of the key static analyses during compilation and affects scalability and precision of several client transformations. Recent advances still lack an efficient and scalable context-sensitive inclusion-based pointer analysis. In this work, we propose four novel techniques to improve the scalability of context-sensitive points-to analysis for C/C++ programs. First, we develop an efficient way of storing the approximate points-to information using a multi-dimensional bloom filter (multibloom). Second, we devise a sound randomized algorithm that processes a group of constraints in a less precise but efficient manner and the remaining constraints in a more precise manner. Third, we transform the points-to analysis problem into finding a solution to a system of linear equations. Finally, we observe that the order in which points-to constraints are processed plays a vital role in the algorithm efficiency and propose a greedy heuristic based on the amount of points-to information computed by a constraint to prioritize the constraints. We illustrate that our algorithms help in scaling the state-of-the-art pointer analyses.

At the moment all of our mobile-responsive ePub books are available to download via the app. Most of our PDFs are also available to download and we're working on making the final remaining ones downloadable now. Learn more here.
What is the difference between the pricing plans?
Both plans give you full access to the library and all of Perlego’s features. The only differences are the price and subscription period: With the annual plan you’ll save around 30% compared to 12 months on the monthly plan.
What is Perlego?
We are an online textbook subscription service, where you can get access to an entire online library for less than the price of a single book per month. With over 1 million books across 1000+ topics, we’ve got you covered! Learn more here.
Do you support text-to-speech?
Look out for the read-aloud symbol on your next book to see if you can listen to it. The read-aloud tool reads text aloud for you, highlighting the text as it is being read. You can pause it, speed it up and slow it down. Learn more here.
Is Scaling Context-Sensitive Points-to Analysis an online PDF/ePUB?
Yes, you can access Scaling Context-Sensitive Points-to Analysis by Rupesh Nasre in PDF and/or ePUB format, as well as other popular books in Ciencia de la computación & Lenguajes de programación. We have over one million books available in our catalogue for you to explore.
