Abstract

Static data race analysis of at least a portion of a multi-threaded application in order to identify potential data race defects in the multi-threaded application. The static data race analysis includes intra-component static analysis as well as inter-component static analysis. The intra-component static analysis for a given component involves identifying a set of memory accesses operations in the component. For each of at least one of the set of memory access operations, the analysis determines whether there is a data race protection element associated with the memory access command.
