“…Second, static analysis lacks important information available only at runtime, and making conservative assumptions introduces false negatives, i.e. reduces recall [Livshits et al 2015;Sui et al 2020].…”

“…addressing issues around false negatives [Livshits et al 2015]. Sui et al [2020] have demonstrated the importance of this-standard call graph construction algorithms suffer from significant numbers of false negatives, undermining the utility of graph-and points-to-based analyses. Moreover, there are multiple sources of unsoundness, each having a significant impact, while research has focused on only one category (reflection) [Livshits et al 2005;.…”
