JNI program analysis with automatically extracted C semantic summary
Sungho Lee · 2019
From Oracle JVM to Android Runtime, most Java runtime environments officially support Java Native Interface (JNI) for interaction between Java and C. Using JNI, developers can improve Java program performance or reuse existing libraries implemented in C. At the same time, differences between the languages can lead to various kinds of unexpected bugs when developers do not understand the differences or comprehensive interoperation semantics completely. Furthermore, existing program analysis techniques do not cover the interoperation, which can reduce the quality of JNI programs.
