| Abstract framework for flow-based optimizations. |
| </p> |
| |
| This package defines abstractions and solvers for finding fixed point of |
| lattice-based flow functions over arbitrary graphs. It also composes analyses |
| with transformation as described in "Composing Dataflow Analyses and |
| Transformations" paper. This paper is highly recommended to read before |
| diving into framework, since we borrow lots of terminology and algorithms from |
| there. |
| |
| The framework can be used for both inter- and intra- procedural analyses such |
| as: |
| <ul> |
| <li>constant propagation</li> |
| <li>copy propagation</li> |
| <li>unreachable code elimination</li> |
| <li>liveness analysis</li> |
| <li>null analysis</li> |
| <li>side effects analysis</li> |
| <li>possible exceptions</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| and many others. |
| |
| If you are new to the framework, consider starting in the following order: |
| {@link Graph}, {@link Analysis}, {@link AnalysisFollowedByTransformation}, |
| {@link CombinedIntegratedAnalysis}, {@link AnalysisSolver}. |
