Abstract:
1. A computer program product for distributed static analysis of computer software applications, the computer program product comprising: a computer-readable storage medium not including signals per se; and computer-readable program code embodied in the computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable program code is configured to: i) the primary agent encounters the call site requiring static analysis, ii) the primary agent issues a request to a summaries data store for the static analysis summary of the call site and the static analysis summary of the call site does not exist in the summaries data store, and iii) the primary agent places a request for the static analysis summary of the call site on a queue of requests for static analysis summaries, resume the primary agent's static analysis of the computer software application using the static analysis summary of the call site after the static analysis summary of the call site is produced, present results of any of the static analyses via a computer-controlled output device, and wherein the assigning the primary agent and the assigning the secondary agent produce static analysis that is scalable and precise for the computer software application.
