METHOD OF DETERMINING MEMORY MISUSE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G06F12/16 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: following operations are performed: step 1 - computer system with the required program and monitoring apparatus is launched, carried out with possibility of collecting all memory accesses during execution of the program; step 2 - determining memory accessing through the monitoring apparatus. Program debugging information is used to extract a code line requesting access to a given memory address, and a set of variable which can be accessed during given memory accessing is also extracted; step 3 - after program execution, source code information, for each line of the source code, is used to extract a set of variables which can be accessed; step 4 - memory misuse is determined by comparing results of performing steps 2 and 3. Memory accessing is deemed misuse if the memory region corresponding to the given variable at the given program execution point was accessed, but in accordance with the source code, access to the given variable is not possible at the given moment of executing the program.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of determining memory misuse.
