Our current approach has three major limitations. First, … … Similarly, for structures that have multiple array-typed fields, … address this limitation, a forward pass [could be used] … Second, our analysis may lose precision due to … We believe that dependence-analysis … [can] address this limitation. Third, the type system … subtyping for structures and pointers. This can cause … [p. 81] The main limitation of our technique is … Third, the induction-iteration method itself is incomplete even … [It] cannot prove the correctness of array accesses in a loop …   Google-1   Google-2
