Program Analysis (an Appetizer)
by Flemming Nielson, Hanne Riis Nielson
Publisher: arXiv.org 2020
Number of pages: 208
Description:
This book is an introduction to program analysis that is meant to be elementary. Rather than using flow charts as the model of programs, the book uses program graphs as the model of programs. In our experience this makes the underlying ideas more accessible to our computer science and computer engineering students.
