Abstract: Program understanding activities are more difficult for programs written in languages (such as C) that heavily make use of pointers for data structure manipulation, because the programmer needs to build a mental model of the memory use and of the pointers to its locations. Pointers also pose additional problems to the tools supporting program understanding, since they introduce additional dependences that have to be accounted for. This paper extends the flow insensitive context insensitive ... (Update)
