Path-sensitive analysis through infeasible-path detection and syntactic language refinement

摘要

A system and method for infeasible path detection includes performing a static analysis on a program to prove a property of the program. If the property is not proved, infeasible paths in the program are determined by performing a path-insensitive abstract interpretation. Information about such infeasible paths is used to achieve the effects of path-sensitivity in path-insensitive program analysis.
