Module Goblint_libSource

CFG

Control-flow graphs (CFGs) are used to represent each function.

module Node = Node
module Edge = Edge
module MyCFG = MyCFG

Specification

Analyses are specified by domains and transfer functions. A dynamic composition of analyses is combined with CFGs to produce a constraint system.

module Analyses : sig ... end

Analysis specification signatures.

module Constraints : sig ... end

Construction of a constraint system from an analysis specification and CFGs. Transformatons of analysis specifications as functors.

module CompareConstraints : sig ... end
module AnalysisState = AnalysisState
module AnalysisStateUtil = AnalysisStateUtil
module ControlSpecC = ControlSpecC

Master control program (MCP) is the analysis specification for the dynamic product of activated analyses.

module MCP : sig ... end

MCP analysis specification.

module MCPRegistry : sig ... end

Registry of dynamically activatable analyses. Analysis specification modules for the dynamic product.
