Abstract

Software tools are an important part of the programming environment. Perhaps one of the most pervasive type of software tools is the “static analyzer”, as exemplified by cross reference listing tools, and call graph generators. In this paper, we describe an “extensible” static analysis tool (CESAT) which is based on the use of a data base management system and associated query language. The use of the dbms query language allows an virtually unlimited number of tools to be easily constructed, resulting in an “extensible” software tool.
