Slicing concurrent Java programs
Jianjun Zhao · 2003
Although many slicing algorithms have been proposed for object oriented programs, no slicing algorithm has been proposed which can be used to handle the problem of slicing concurrent Java programs correctly. We propose a slicing algorithm for concurrent Java programs. To slice concurrent Java programs, we present a dependence based representation called multithreaded dependence graph, which extends previous dependence graphs to represent concurrent Java programs. We also show how static slices of a concurrent Java program can be computed efficiently based on its multithreaded dependence graph.
