Fjalar Description

Dynamic analysis framework for C and C++ programs Fjalar is a free and open source framework that facilitates the construction of dynamic analysis tools for programs written in C and C++. Fjalar is often difficult to build robust and scalable dynamic analyses for C and C++ programs due to the lack of memory and type safety in these languages. For instance, the run time system does not keep track of array sizes or whether values have been initialized. Existing frameworks based on source-to-source transformation often suffer from scalability and robustness problems due to the difficulty of adding instrumentation source code to track memory usage and initialization. Frameworks that operate purely at the binary level cannot provide rich language-level information about data structures that are useful for many kinds of analyses. Fjalar combines aspects of both source- and binary-based approaches and allows tools built upon it to safely access rich information at both the language and machine levels during run time.
