Abstract

This paper presents LANCET, a multi-platform software visualization tool that enables the inspection of programs at the binary code level. Implemented on top of the link-time rewriting framework DIABLO, LANCET provides several views on the interprocedural control flow graph of a program. These views can be used to navigate through the program, to edit the program in a efficient manner, and to interact with the existing whole-program analyses and optimizations that are implemented in DIABLO or existing applications of DIABLO. As such, LANCET is an ideal tool to examine compiler-generated code, to assist the development of new compiler optimizations, or to optimize assembly code manually.
