Modular Static Program Analysis

The purpose of this paper is to present four basic methods for compositional separate modular static analysis of programs by abstract interpretation: – simplification-based separate analysis; – worst-case separate analysis; – separate analysis with (user-provided) interfaces; – symbolic relational separate analysis; as well as a fifth category which is essentially obtained by composition of the...
