Abstract
Static analysis requires the full knowledge of the overall program structure. The structure of a program can be represented by a Control Flow Graph (CFG) where vertices are basic blocks (BB) and edges represent the control flow between the BB. To construct a full CFG, all the BB as well as all of their possible targets addresses must be found. In this paper, we present a method to resolve dynamic branches, that identifies the target addresses of BB created due to the switch-cases and calls on function pointers. We also implemented a slicing method to speed up the overall analysis which makes our approach applicable on large and realistic real-time programs
