Abstract

Interprocedural analyses are compositional when they compute over-approximations of procedures in a bottom-up fashion. These analyses are usually more scalable than top-down analyses, which compute a different procedure summary for every calling context. However, compositional analyses are rare in practice as it is difficult to develop them with enough precision. We establish a connection between compositional analyses and modular lattices, which require certain associativity between the lattice join and meet operations, and use it to develop a compositional version of the connection analysis by Ghiya and Hendren. Our version is slightly more conservative than the original top-down analysis in order to meet our modularity requirement.
