List of Projects
Implement some checks based on abstract interpretation.
Posted Mon 12 Mar 2007 05:11:11 PM PDTEnhance the graph backend to show the C source code and the linearized bytecode.
Posted Mon 12 Mar 2007 05:11:11 PM PDTUse Sparse to generate FFI declarations for some higher-level language, such as Haskell, Python, or Java.
Posted Mon 12 Mar 2007 05:11:11 PM PDTDo something to parse assembly code or object code and turn it into some approximation to the Sparse linearized instruction format. This will help with analysis of the Linux kernel.
Ideally, this would also support inline assembly blocks. Those may even prove easier to start on.
Posted Mon 12 Mar 2007 05:11:11 PM PDTWrite a compiler backend to generate code for some real architecture. Sparse already has a toy compiler backend for x86, but it handles only a small subset of C.
Posted Mon 12 Mar 2007 05:11:11 PM PDTUse the Sparse abstract syntax tree or linearized instruction format to generate bytecode for Java or .NET CLI.
