Alternating Control Flow Reconstruction

Johannes Kinder

Unresolved indirect branch instructions are a major obstacle for statically reconstructing a control flow graph (CFG) from machine code. If static analysis cannot compute a precise set of possible targets for a branch, the necessary conservative over-appro ...

Striking a New Balance Between Program Instrumentation and Debugging Time

Willy Zwaenepoel, Olivier Crameri, Ricardo Bianchini

Although they are helpful in many cases, state-of-the-art bug reporting systems may impose excessive overhead on users, leak private information, or provide little help to the developer in locating the problem. In this paper, we explore a new approach to b ...
