Analysis of Programs with Exception Handling Constructs

International Conference on Software Maintenance

November 1998, pp. 348-357

Abstract

Analysis techniques, such as control-flow, data-flow, and control-dependence, are used for a variety of maintenance tasks, including regression testing, dynamic execution profiling, and static and dynamic slicing. To be applicable to programs in languages, such as Java and C++ however, these analysis techniques should, to the extent possible, account for the effects of exception occurrences and exception-handling constructs. This paper presents techniques to construct intraprocedural and interprocedural representations on which existing techniques can be performed, and demonstrates their applicability to several maintenance tasks.
