A use case I am interested in is to take a large application and use this instrumentation as a tool to help monitor how data flows from its inputs (sources) to its outputs (sinks). This has applications from a privacy/security perspective in that one can audit how a sensitive data item

It is interesting. I can see some use cases with such a tool. To me, source-level implementation is not as accurate as binary translation. For instance, it is hard to check the taint for return addresses since there is no concept of return instructions on source level. The stack does not appear until later. For a security mechanism, return addresses need to be protected. On Fri, Jun 14, 2013 at

Could you maybe give some example use cases? Also, "sanitizer" may not be the best name for this, since it doesn't really sanitize anything. -- Sean Silva -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I am starting a thread to discuss the design of DataFlowSanitizer, a compiler instrumentation based analysis tool which I am hoping to bring into LLVM. As a starting point, I have included the current version of the design document below. Comments are appreciated. Thanks, Peter DataFlowSanitizer Design Document ********************************* This document sets out the design for
