Abstract

Cost analysis of Java bytecode is complicated by its unstructured control flow, the use of an operand stack and its object-oriented programming features (like dynamic dispatching). This paper addresses these problems and develops a generic framework for the automatic cost analysis of sequential Java bytecode. Our method generates cost relations which define at compile-time the cost of programs as a function of their input data size. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first approach to the automatic cost analysis of Java bytecode.KeywordsCost AnalysisCost RelationRecurrence EquationProgram PointMethod InvocationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
