  • Symbol tables for processing hierarchical data structures in data flow analysis
    Patent number: 10360130
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system, a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method of code analysis. Whether a destination ancestor of a destination data structure and the destination data structure are included in a live data table is determined. Also, whether a destination leaf-descendant of the destination data structure is included in a live descendant data table is determined. In response to either the destination ancestor or the destination data structure being included in the live data table, the live data table is updated to include the source data structure. In response to the destination leaf-descendant being included in the live descendant data table, the live data table and a symbol data table are updated to include a leaf-descendant of the source data structure that corresponds to the destination leaf-descendant. The symbol data table is provided to a data flow analyzer.
