DATAFLOW ALGORITHM FOR SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION OF LOWEST UPPER BOUND TYPE

摘要

A method, computer program, signal transmission, apparatus and system verify instructions in a module of a computer program to be dynamically linked with at least one other module. First it is determined whether checking an instruction in a first module which is loaded requires a lowest upper bound (LUB) class of at least two referenced classes in one or more referenced modules different than the first module. If such information is required, a constraint for the referenced module is written without loading the referenced module. The constraint is of the form "the set of at least two classes inherits from a specified class."
