Abstract
In this paper, we describe g4re, our tool chain
that exploits GENERIC, an intermediate format incorporated
into the gcc C++ compiler, to facilitate
analysis of real C++ applications. The gcc
GENERIC representation is available through a file
generated for each translation unit (tu), and g4re
reads each tu file and constructs a corresponding Abstract
Semantic Graph (ASG). Since tu files can be
prohibitively large, ranging from 10 megabytes for a
“hello world” program, to 18 gigabytes for a version
of Mozilla Thunderbird, we describe our approach
for reducing the size of the generated ASG.
