## Documentation

If you want to build the documentation yourself go into doc and invoke doxygen:
```
cd doc && doxygen doxygen.config
```

#### We are looking for self-motivated PhD students and we welcome industry collaboration/sponsorship to improve SVF (Please contact yulei.sui@uts.edu.au if you are interested)

SVF is a source code analysis tool that enables interprocedural dependence analysis for LLVM-based languages. SVF is able to perform pointer alias analysis, memory SSA form construction, value-flow tracking for program variables and memory error checking.
