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.

| Introducing SVF -- what it does and how we design it | A step by step setup guide to build SVF | Command-line options to run SVF, get analysis outputs, and test SVF with an example or PTABen | Detailed technical documentation and how to write your own analyses in SVF or use SVF as a lib for your tool |
We release SVF source code in the hope of benefiting others. You are kindly asked to acknowledge usage of the tool by citing some of our publications listed http://svf-tools.github.io/SVF, especially the following two:
