Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving the functioning of a program. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to detecting a code segment being added to source code of the program, identifying control flow characteristics of the source code including the code segment. The method includes updating a control flow graph of the source code according to the control flow characteristics. The control flow graph represents execution paths through the program that are comprised of nodes representing blocks of the source code and directed edges between the nodes representing transitions between the blocks. The method includes providing the control flow graph to improve functioning of the program by facilitating adjustments in the source code.
