Abstract:To avoid the precision loss caused by combining dataflow facts impossible to occur in the same execution path in dependence analysis for C programs, this paper first proposes a flow-sensitive and context-insensitive points-to analysis algorithm and then presents a new dependence analysis approach based on it. The approach makes more sufficient consideration on the executable path problem and can avoid invalid combination between points-to relations and between points-to relations and reaching definitions.
