Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying source code used to build executable. One of the methods includes determining that a first newly created process is a compiler, the compiler being invoked to compile a source code file; after the compiler exits, generating a first hash value of an object file generated by the compiler; generating an object artifact that identifies the source code file and includes the first hash value of contents of the object file generated by the compiler; determining that the second newly created process is a linker, the linker being invoked to generate an executable file from one or more object files; generating a link artifact that includes respective hash values of each of the one or more object files used to generate the executable file; and providing the link artifact and object artifact to a static analysis system.
