Abstract

Program Analysis is largely based on generic theories that have the potential for toolmaking. Intensive research should go into the still open problems faced by the creators of program analysis generators. To date, the more generic method of abstract interpretation has advantages for toolmaking compared to type inference based and set based analysis methods.
