Context- and path-sensitive memory leak detection.

Context- and path-sensitive memory leak detection.

We present a context- and path-sensitive algorithm for detecting memory leaks in programs with explicit memory management. Our leak detection algorithm is based on an underlying escape analysis: any allocated location in a procedure P that is not deallocated in P and does not escape from P is leaked...
