Abstract
A program storage device, readably by a machine, tangibly embodying instructions to perform method steps for constructing a call graph whereby for each method M, a set of types SM of objects that may occur in method M is determined for each field F, a set of types SF of objects is determined that may be stored in field F, the method comprising: determining the allocation sites inside the body of method M; determining the set of directly called methods M′ inside the body of method M; and determining the set of virtually called methods M″ inside the body of method M.
