Abstract

A method for analyzing software with pointer analysis may include obtaining a software program, and determining a first independent program slice of the software program describing a first code segment of the software program. The method may further include determining, using a first pointer analysis objective, a first result from performing a first pointer analysis on the first independent program slice, and determining, using the first result, a first dependent program slice of the software program. The method may further include determining, using a second pointer analysis objective, a second result from performing a second pointer analysis on the first dependent program slice. The method may further include generating a report, using these results, indicating whether the software program satisfies a predetermined criterion.
