Pointer (computing) — This article is about the programming data type. For the input interface (for example a computer mouse), see Pointing device. Pointer a pointing to the memory address associated with variable b. Note that in this particular diagram, the computing … Wikipedia
Pointer swizzling — In computer science, pointer swizzling is the conversion of references based on name or position to direct pointer references. It is typically performed during the deserialization (loading) of a relocatable object from disk, such as an executable … Wikipedia
Shape analysis (software) — Shape analysis is a static code analysis technique that discovers and verifies properties of linked, dynamically allocated data structures in (usually imperative) computer programs. It is typically used at compile time to find software bugs or to … Wikipedia
Escape analysis — In programming language compiler optimization theory, escape analysis is a method for determining the dynamic scope of pointers. It is related to pointer analysis and shape analysis.When a variable (or an object) is allocated in a subroutine, a… … Wikipedia
Alias analysis — is a technique in compiler theory, used to determine if a storage location may be accessed in more than one way. Two pointers are said to be aliased if they point to the same location. Alias analysis techniques are usually classified by flow… … Wikipedia

Data-flow analysis — is a technique for gathering information about the possible set of values calculated at various points in a computer program. A program s control flow graph (CFG) is used to determine those parts of a program to which a particular value assigned… … Wikipedia
Six-pointer — is a sporting cliché, particularly used in association football, used to describe a game between two teams with similar league positions, in leagues that employ a three points for a win system. In a two points for a win league, the corresponding… … Wikipedia
Definite assignment analysis — In computer science, definite assignment analysis is a data flow analysis used by compilers to conservatively ensure that a variable or location is always assigned to before it is used. Contents 1 Motivation 2 Terminology 3 The analysis … Wikipedia
Constructed product result analysis — In the field of compiler implementation in computer science, constructed product result analysis (or CPR analysis) is a static analysis that determines which functions in a given program can return multiple results in an efficient manner.… … Wikipedia
