Frankenstein: Fast and Lightweight Call Graph Generation for Software Builds

Abstract: all Graphs are a rich data source and built the foundation for advanced static analysis that can, for example, detect security vulnerability or dead code. Call Graph generation is usually considered to be a full program analysis: not just the program, but also all its dependencies are processed together. Unfortunately, this is very expensive and makes it hard to run these static analyses in build systems that are typically limited in resources. Even powerful servers would suffer from s
