  • Static program analysis reasons about program behavior without execution.
  • Useful for optimizing compilers, error detection, and programmer tools.
  • Automated reasoning involves approximation due to undecidable properties.
  • Static analysis checks all possible executions, providing guarantees.
  • Focus on high precision and efficiency for practical use.
  • Material presents principles and algorithms with a constraint-based approach.
  • Uses TIP language to illustrate challenges in mainstream languages.
  • Developed for graduate-level courses, regularly updated since 2008.
  • Includes lecture notes, slides, implementations, and exercises.
  • Analyses use different constraint systems with specific solvers.
  • Implementations available in Scala and C++, with open-source versions.
