Verified Validation of Program Slicing
Sandrine Blazy, André Maroneze, David Pichardie · 2015
Program slicing is a well-known program transformation which simplifies a program wrt a given criterion while preserving its semantics. Since the seminal paper published by Weiser in 1981, program slicing is still widely used in various application domains. State of the art program slicers operate over program dependence graphs (PDG), a sophisticated data structure combining data and control dependences.
