Ask HN: Good Discussion Forums for Static Program Analysis?

13 points by homeproject_123 6y ago ↗ HN

I am interested in Program Analysis (or Static Code Analysis). Obviously this is a fairly specialized topic (my own level is a Bsc/Msc in CS/compilers/etc).

Any good forums for both research, SOTAs and libraries ?

I don't know of any discussion forums, but would recommend the following resources for learning:

Accessible (at least compared to more formal texts) lecture notes: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~aldrich/courses/17-355-18sp/

Free book that's more readable than "Principles of Program Analysis" by Nielson et al: https://cs.au.dk/~amoeller/spa/

Some practical resources for binary PA: https://reversing.io/resources/

Which languages are you working in, friend? A prof of mine was really into static analysis for Java, and I think he was part of a few e-mail lists and newsgroups
