Abstract: A method for analyzing a program is provided. The method includes, determining an object type that may exist at an execution point of the program, wherein this enables determination of possible virtual functions that may be called; creating a call graph at a main entry point of the program; and recording an outgoing function call within a main function. The method also includes analyzing possible object types that may occur at any given instruction from any call path for virtual calls, wherein possible object types are determined by tracking object types as they pass through plural constructs; and calling into functions generically for handling specialized native runtime type information.

Abstract: A method and system method for analyzing calls in an executable computer program is provided. The process determines if a call is intercepted in a native processor code; analyzes intermediate language code of a function if the call is not intercepted in the native processor code; and checks each function for an exception clause. The process also determines if a call is implemented in a managed code or a native processor code; searches for an existing call to a function if the call is implemented in the managed code; adds a new call record if the call does not exist; and links an outgoing argument of the call to an incoming argument of the call. The process also determines if a link between a target node and source node already exists; and creates a link between a target node and a source node if the link does not exist.
