Abstract

An extensible representation for object-oriented programs is presented. It is based on the concept of a program dependency graph and elaborated to include both control flow and data flow information. The representation takes advantage of the basic incremental philosophy of the object-oriented approach to develop a more compact representation that is useful with practical programs. The basic approach reported here provides a static view of an object-oriented program. The approach can be expanded to provide dynamic information for tools such as interactive debuggers and other runtime tools. The outline of this extension is also presented.
