http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/giri/. Though it may be little older, it
will work I think. You can look at the code to see how we do the
instrumentation.
The giri project is supposed to contain both the static slicing code and 
the dynamic slicing code.  It looks like all it contains at present is 
the static slicing code.  At some point, the dynamic slicing code needs 
to be integrated into it.

Oh, OK. I didn't check the code. I think it only contains your flow tracking
analysis code, isn't it.

Our 'Giri' project was completely separate from it. Should we merge it
with this or keep it as a separate project?

My intention was to have a project called "giri" that contained both
the
static slicing code that I wrote plus the dynamic slicing code 
(currently named "giri") that we wrote.  I put the static slicing code
into the public project, but the dynamic slicing code is still on the 
TODO list.
