This paper presents a novel approach to bug-finding analysis and an implementation of that approach. Our goal is to find as many serious bugs as possible. To do so, we designed a flexible, easy-to-use extension language for specifying analyses and an efflcent algorithm for executing these extensions. The language, metal, allows the users of our system to specify a broad class of analyses in terms that resemble the intuitive description of the rules that they check. The system, xgcc, executes these analyses efficiently using a context-sensitive, interprocedural analysis.Our prior work has shown that the approach described in this paper is effective: it has successfully found thousands of bugs in real systems code. This paper describes the underlying system used to achieve these results. We believe that our system is an effective framework for deploying new bug-finding analyses quickly and easily.

Invariance-based and generative methods have shown a conspicuous performance for 3D self-supervised representation learning (SSRL). However, the former relies on hand-crafted data augmentations that introduce bias not universally applicable to all downstream tasks, and the latter indiscriminately reconstructs masked regions, resulting in irrelevant details being saved in the representation space. To solve the problem above, we introduce 3D-JEPA, a novel non-generative 3D SSRL framework. Specifically, we propose a multi-block sampling strategy that produces a sufficiently informative context block and several representative target blocks. We present the context-aware decoder to enhance the reconstruction of the target blocks. Concretely, the context information is fed to the decoder continuously, facilitating the encoder in learning semantic modeling rather than memorizing the context information related to target blocks. Overall, 3D-JEPA predicts the representation of target blocks from a context block using the encoder and context-aware decoder architecture. Various downstream tasks on different datasets demonstrate 3D-JEPA's effectiveness and efficiency, achieving higher accuracy with fewer pretraining epochs, e.g., 88.65% accuracy on PB T50 RS with 150 pretraining epochs.
