Abstract
Abstract Sharing analysis is used to statically discover data structures which may overlap in object-oriented programs. Using the abstract interpretation framework, we show that sharing analysis greatly benefits from linearity information. A variable is linear in a program state when different field paths starting from it always reach different objects. We propose a graph-based abstract domain which can represent aliasing, linearity, and sharing information and define all the necessary abstract operators for the analysis of a Java-like language.
期刊介绍：
Mathematical Structures in Computer Science is a journal of theoretical computer science which focuses on the application of ideas from the structural side of mathematics and mathematical logic to computer science. The journal aims to bridge the gap between theoretical contributions and software design, publishing original papers of a high standard and broad surveys with original perspectives in all areas of computing, provided that ideas or results from logic, algebra, geometry, category theory or other areas of logic and mathematics form a basis for the work. The journal welcomes applications to computing based on the use of specific mathematical structures (e.g. topological and order-theoretic structures) as well as on proof-theoretic notions or results.
