- Shape Analysis for Composite Data Structures
- This paper proposes a shape analysis that adapts to some of the complex composite data structures found in industrial systems-level programs. Examples of such data structures include "Cyclic doubly-linked lists of acyclic singly-linked lists", "Singly-linked lists of cyclic doubly-linked lists with back-pointers to head nodes", etc. The analysis introduces the...
