Abstract
Techniques for performing position analysis on a representation of an application source code are disclosed herein. An application source code is scanned to produce a representation of the application source code, start locations within the representation are determined, corresponding stop locations within the representation are determined, and a set of data impact locations within the representation are determined. The set of data impact locations are then used in a dataflow analysis to determine a position of high control of the data within the representation.
