Patent number: 11941379Abstract: A system performs static program analysis with artifact reuse. The system identifies artifacts associated with the software program being analyzed. The system processes the identified artifacts for performing static program analysis and transmits either the artifacts or identifiers for the artifacts to a second processing device for performing program analysis. The second processing device receives the artifacts and uses the received identifiers to retrieve the artifacts from a networked storage system. The second device also retrieves stored summaries of previous program analysis from the networked storage system. The program analysis uses the retrieved artifacts to generate work units for static program analysis. The analysis is performed only for those work units that are determined to remain unchanged from previous static program analysis cycles.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Marc-André Laverdière-Papineau, Kenneth Robert Block, Nebojsa Bozovic, Simon Fredrick Vicente Goldsmith, Charles-Henri Marie Jacques Gros, Thomas Henry Hildebrandt, Thierry M.
