Abstract
In this paper, we describe g4re, our tool chain that exploits GENERIC, an intermediate format incorporated into the gcc C++ compiler, to facilitate analysis of real C++ applications. The gcc GENERIC representation is available through a file generated for each translation unit (TU), and g4re reads each TU file and constructs a corresponding Abstract Semantic Graph (ASG). Since TU files can be prohibitively large, ranging from 11 megabytes for a "hello world" program, to 18 gigabytes for a version of Mozilla Thunderbird, we describe our approach for reducing the size of the generated ASG.
