This paper describes an empirical comparison of the e(cid:11)ectiveness of six context-insensitive pointer analysis algorithms that use varying degrees of (cid:13)ow-sensitivity. Four of the algorithms are (cid:13)ow-insensitive, one is (cid:13)ow-sensitive, and another is (cid:13)ow-insensitive, but uses precomputed (cid:13)ow-sensitive information. The e(cid:11)ectiveness of each analysis is quanti(cid:12)ed in terms of compile-time e(cid:14)ciency and precision. E(cid:14)ciency is reported by measuring CPU time and memory consumption of each analysis. Precision is reported by measuring the computed solutions at the program points where a pointer is dereferenced. The results of this paper will help implementors determine which pointer analysis is appropriate for their application.
