    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles JShrink: Debloating Modern Java Applications A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Computer Science by Jaspreet Singh Arora 2020 c Copyright by Jaspreet Singh Arora 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JShrink: Debloating Modern Java Applications by Jaspreet Singh Arora Master of Science in Computer Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Miryung Kim, Chair Modern software is bloated. Demand for new functionality has led developers to include more and more features, many of which become unneeded or unused as software evolves. This phenomenon of software bloat results in software consuming more resources than it otherwise needs to. Automation of effective debloating is a long standing problem in soft- ware engineering. Various software debloating techniques have been proposed since the late 1990s. However, many of these techniques are built upon pure static analysis and have yet to be extended and evaluated in the context of modern Java applications where dynamic language features are prevalent. To this end, we develop an end-to-end bytecode debloating framework called JShrink. JShrink augments traditional static reachability analysis with dynamic profiling and type dependency analysis, and renovates existing byte-code transfor- mations to perform effective debloating. We highlight several nuanced technical challenges that must be handled properly to debloat modern Java applications and further examine behavior preservation of debloated

  • ENCM 335 Fall 2018: Command-Line C Programming on Macos
    page 1 of 4 ENCM 335 Fall 2018: Command-line C programming on macOS Steve Norman Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Calgary September 2018 Introduction This document is intended to help students who would like to do ENCM 335 C pro- gramming on an Apple Mac laptop or desktop computer. A note about software versions The information in this document was prepared using the latest versions of macOS Sierra version 10.12.6 and Xcode 9.2, the latest version of Xcode available for that version of macOS. Things should work for you if you have other but fairly recent versions of macOS and Xcode. If you have versions that are several years old, though you may experience difficulties that I'm not able to help with. Essential Software There are several key applications needed to do command-line C programming on a Mac. Web browser I assume you all know how to use a web browser to find course documents, so I won't say anything more about web browsers here. Finder Finder is the tool built in to macOS for browsing folders and files. It really helps if you're fluent with its features. Terminal You'll need Terminal to enter commands and look at output of commands. To start it up, look in Utilities, which is a folder within the Applications folder. It probably makes sense to drag the icon for Terminal to the macOS Dock, so that you can launch it quickly. macOS Terminal runs the same bash shell that runs in Cygwin Terminal, so commands like cd, ls, mkdir, and so on, are all available on your Mac.

  • Using ID TECH Universal SDK Library Files in a C++ Project
    Using ID TECH Universal SDK Library Files in a C++ Project Introduction From time to time, customers who wish to use ID TECH's Universal SDK for Windows (which is .NET-based and comes with C# code examples) ask if it is possible to do development against the SDK solely in C++ (on Windows). The answer is yes. Universal SDK library files (DLLs) are COM-visible and ready to be accessed from C++ code. (SDK runtimes require the .NET Common Language Runtime, but your C++ binaries can still use the SDK.) Note that while the example shown in this document involves Microsoft's Visual Studio, it is also possible to use SDK libraries in C++ projects created in Eclipse or other IDEs. How to Use the IDTechSDK.dll File in a C++ Project: 1. Create a Visual C++ project in Visual Studio 2015 (shown below, an MFC Application as an example). 2. Change the properties of the Visual C++ project. Under the General tag, set Commom Language Runtime Support under Target Platform to "Common Language Runtime Support (/clr)" under Windows. 3. Under VC++ Directories, add the path to the C# .dll file(s) to Reference Directories. 4. Under C/C++ General, set Commom Language Runtime Support to "Common Language Runtime Support (/clr)." 5. Under C/C++ Preprocessor, add _AFXDLL to Preprocessor Definitions. 6. Under C/C++ Code Generation, change Runtime Library to "Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)." 7. Under Code Analysis General, change Rule Set to "Microsoft Mixed (C++ /CLR) Recommended Rules." 8. Use IDTechSDK.dll in your .cpp file. a.

Usually the last step in compiling a program is to run ld. ld accepts Linker Command Language files written in a superset of AT&T’s Link Editor Command Language syntax, to provide explicit and total control over the linking process. This version of ld uses the general purpose BFD libraries to operate on object files. This allows ld to read, combine, and write object files in many different formats—for example, COFF or a.out. Different formats may be linked together to produce any available kind of object file. See Chapter 5 [BFD], page 47, for more information. Aside from its flexibility, the gnu linker is more helpful than other linkers in providing diagnostic information.
