Dataaow analyses track the deenitions and uses of variable values, and are useful to optimizing and parallelizing compilers. Such analyses compute, for every (array cell) value read in a right-hand-side expression, the very operation which produced it. These analyses, however, make quite stringent hypotheses on the input programs: the control ow should be known at compile-time (i.e., static), a...
