Chris Dickinson - Better Living through Control Flow Graph Generation [ Thunder Plains 2014 ]
This talk will be an introduction to the data structures and phases involved in parsing (tokenization, abstract syntax trees, control flow graph generation), and what useful tools can be built on the various derived formats of your code. The overarching theme is that dealing with your code on a different level of abstraction gives you superpowers. This talk will include information about control flow graphs + doing code review, static analysis, and optimization with that intermediate format.
