Static Program Analysis(2024)

Synopsis

Software Analysis or Static Program Analysis is a course of Nanjing University developed by Tian Tan and Yue Li in Spring 2020. In this course, we will learn about static program analysis, a useful technique for improving the reliability, security and performance of software, and it becomes increasingly impactful in industries nowadays. The course covers two parts: theory and practice. In theory, various materials will be introduced: from the foundations of classical data-flow and pointer analyses to some advanced topics such as security analysis and soundiness. In practice, a brand new static program analysis framework called Tai-e was designed, on top of which we'll implement a series of assignments including live variable analysis, constant propagation, dead code detection, CHA call graph construction, context-insensitive and context-sensitive pointer analyses, and taint analysis.
