Abstract
Language interoperability between source code programs not compatible with an interprocedural static code analyzer is achieved through language-independent representations of the programs. The source code programs are transformed into respective intermediate language instructions from which a language-independent control flow graph and a language-independent type environment is created. A program compatible with the interprocedural static code analyzer is generated from the language-independent control flow graph and the language-independent type environment in order to utilize the interprocedural static code analyzer to detect memory safety faults.
