Flow insensitive points-to sets

Pointer analysis is an important part of source code analysis. Many programs that manipulate source code take points-to sets as part of their input input. Points-to related data collected from 27 mid-sized C programs (ranging in size from 1168 to 53131 lines of code) is presented The data shows the relative sizes and the complexities of computing points-to sets. Such data is useful in improving algorithms for the computation of points-to sets as well as algorithms that make use of this information in other operations. Several uses of the data are discussed.
