A method of generating a dynamic call graph of an application is disclosed. The method includes collecting information on what program code pages are accessed during each sampling period, defining parts of an executable program code which are accessible during each sampling period according to the collected information, defining a set of functions within the defined parts of the executable program code, generating dynamic call graphs using the defined set of functions for each sampling period, and generating dynamic call graphs for an observation period by combining accurate dynamic call graphs of each sampling period.

Method for constructing dynamic call graph of application

A method of detection of erroneous memory usage is provided. The method includes starting a computer and executing a program and a monitoring tool to collect calls to a memory during execution of the program, detecting a call to the memory using the monitoring tool, extracting lines of code which request access to a memory address via the call to the memory, detecting a set of variables to which access is granted via the call to the memory, extracting, after execution of the predetermined program, the set of variables for each of the lines of code, detecting erroneous memory usage by matching the extracted lines of code with the set of variables, and determining the call as erroneous upon access being granted to the memory corresponding to the set of variables during execution of the predetermined program when access is not possible during the execution of the program.
