Automatic Accurate Live Memory Analysis for Garbage-Collected Languages
Leena Unnikrishnan, Scott D. Stoller, Yanhong A. Liu · ACM SIGPLAN Notices · 2001
This paper describes a general approach for automatic and accurate live heap space and live heap space-bound analyses for high-level languages. The approach is based on program analysis and transformations and is fully automatic. The space-bound analysis produces accurate (tight) upper bounds in the presence of partially known input structures. The analyses have been implemented and experimental results confirm their accuracy.
