Abstract
A method may include initiating a static analysis of code including a first function, detecting, in the first function and by the static analysis, an indirect call to a second function whose identity is unknown until the code is executed, detecting, in the code, a conditional block including a first instruction sequence and a second instruction sequence, determining, by the static analysis, that the first instruction sequence sets a value that identifies the second function, and adding the value to a called function list for the code.
