Abstract

One problem in analyzing object oriented languages is that the exact control flow graph is not known statically due to dynamic dispatching. However, this is needed in order to apply the large class of known interprocedural analysis. Control Flow Analysis in the object oriented setting aims at determining run-time types of variables, thus allowing to possibly targeted method implementations.We present a flow sensitive analysis that allows separate handling of libraries and thereby efficient analysis of whole programs.
