Idealer Gebrauch von LLVM-Optimierungstechniken zur Verbesserung statischer Analyse von Echtzeitsystemen

ARA is a program to statically analyze a real-time system to extract all operating system instances (like threads) together with their interactions (what thread interact with this queue?). It uses LLVM to extract the initial control-flow graph (CFG) and uses some further analysis passes of LLVM like dominator analysis. However, a bunch of analysis passes of LLVM that could be beneficial for ARA are not used (such as alias analysis or loop unrolling). The goal of this thesis is to utilize as many LLVM passes as possible for its usage in ARA.

Therefore the following tasks should be done:

Topics covered by this thesis:
static analysis, LLVM, C++, C, compiler optimization
