Poster: MC/DC Coverage-Oriented Compiler Optimization for Symbolic Execution

Complier optimizations influence the effectiveness and efficiency of symbolic execution. In this extended abstract, we report our recent results of recommending compiler optimizations for symbolic execution w.r.t. MC/DC coverage. We carried out extensive experiments to study the influence of compiler optimizations on MC/DC coverage. Then, an SVM-based optimization recommendation method is designed and implementation. The preliminary experimental results are promising.
