An inter-procedural analysis framework built on top of WALA.

http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~chong/accrue.html

The Accrue Interprocedural Analysis Framework (Accrue) is a framework for interprocedural analysis of Java bytecode, implemented on top of WALA. Accrue contains some common and useful analyses, such as a non-null analysis and a precise exception tracker. More importantly, it contains sufficient building blocks to make it easy to write new interprocedural analyses.

Accrue is research software. Over time, some of the interfaces in the framework may change. This may require some clients of the framework to be changed to conform to the new interfaces. Also, Accrue is not well documented. If you use Accrue, we'd appreciate you letting us know. Please send comments and bug reports to Stephen Chong at chong@seas.harvard.edu.

$ mvn clean install

This should be sufficient to build accrue-bytecode with Maven. This will download all third-party JARs necessary to build and run accrue-bytecode (incling WALA) and perform a full rebuild.

The 'install' goal will also copy the library to the local Maven repository (one that is private to your home directory), allowing it to be accessed by other tools (such as Pidgin). After the build all the compiled class files (and a JAR) will be in the 'target' subdirectory.

During normal development you can omit the 'clean' step (to avoid unnecessary recompilation).
