Excerpt from Application of the Use-Definition Chaining to Attribute-Flow Analysis Use-definition chaining is a well known pragmatic technique for solving various classes of data flow analysis problems. In this paper we compare this method with the standard flow graph method for solving such problems and show that when applied to the class of attribute flow analysis problems (which includes constant propagation, type analysis, etc.) both methods yield the same solution, but that the use definition method is generally much more efficient than the flow graph method. We also describe and analyze a possible adaptation of the use-definition technique to inter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
