Mozilla's Firefox team explored extending Clang's Static Analyzer for whole-project taint tracking, aiming to devirtualize virtual calls across files. The prototype showed promise in richer control-flow modeling but stalled on ASTImporter's limitations in cross-file imports. This highlights the hurdles in scaling static analysis for complex codebases, urging better tools for open-source reliability. Thoughts on advancing CTU support? #OpenSource #StaticAnalysis #TechEthics
Python static analysis advances as mypy-pure and mypy-raise tackle purity and exception handling gaps. These tools enhance reliability by extending type checking into critical areas, supporting developers in building more robust and responsible code. Python's ecosystem evolves thoughtfully. #Python #StaticAnalysis #TechEthics

Working on a little static analysis of #Python code for common student snafus, but I haven't found the right tool yet. What library or technique beats regex (this seems easy) for finding calls to a certain function, or a function defined but never called?

I thought I might be able to figure this out by reading the CPython bytecode but not quite. All ideas welcome.

Static Analysis of APL for Tooling and Compliance - DYNA Fall 2025

Aaron introduces the work that’s being done at Dyalog Ltd to provide static analysis tools for users of APL that should improve tooling, assist in code refactoring, and aid migrations. He discusses the security and static analysis tool built on Co-dfns that will be available as an independent tool targeting security and code quality audits, as well as how you can use Co-dfns to integrate static analysis into existing tools.
