  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF DETECTING POWER BUGS
    Publication number: 20210279123
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and methods for detecting power bugs. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for analyzing a computer code includes generating a control flow graph for at least a portion of the computer code at a processor. The method further includes identifying power bugs by traversing the control flow graph if the control flow graph exits without performing a function call to deactivate power to any component of a device configured to execute computer executable instructions based on the computer code after performing a function call to activate power.
    Type: Application
