Abstract: During reverse engineering and reengineering of large legacy systems, reaching de nitions computation is an important step, from which successive analyses, such as slicing and impact analysis, can produce useful views of the code linkages for the programmer. The involved activities are interactive, thus program analysis tools may be asked for fast answers by the maintainer. Therefore the control on the trade-o between accuracy and eciency should be given to the user. Furthermore, real world... (Update)

...work considers definitions, uses, and def use associations in terms of the certainty with which those entities occur. Tonella and colleagues [27] analyze the effects of the precision of the reaching definition computation on def use associations. Other researchers (e.g. 8, 11]...
.... systems, special attention was also devoted to the speed of convergence of the iterative fixpoint method by conceiving a flexible analyzer [44] that allows fine tuning of the trade off between execution time performance and flow information precision. 6 Conclusions Maintenance...
