Abstract
Analyzing and detecting soft hang program errors may lead to suggestions for either curing the programming errors at runtime or refactoring the source code. For instance, responsive function invocation patterns and blocking function invocation patterns may be used to detect soft hang program errors in a source code file. Deductive database rules may be compiled from the responsive and blocking function invocation patterns to find matching function invocations in a call graph.
