Unreferenced date November 2006 In computer science pointer analysis , or points to analysis , is a static code analysis technique that establishes which pointer computer programming pointer s, or heap references, can point to which variables or storage locations. It is often a component of more complex analyses such as escape analysis . A generalization of pointer analysis is shape analysis software shape analysis . Introduction Performing pointer analysis on all but the smallest of programs is a very resource intensive activity. Various simplifications have been made to reduce this overhead, the disadvantages of these simplifications is that the calculated set of objects pointed to may be larger than it is in practice. Simplifications include Treating all references to a structured object as being to one object. Ignoring flow of control when analysing which objects are assigned to pointers, known as context insensitive pointer analysis when ignoring the context in which function calls are made or flow insensitive pointer analysis when ignoring the control flow within a procedure .

The unit of analysis is the major entity that is being wikt Analysis analyzed in the Experiment study . It is the what or whom that is being studied. In social science research , typical units of analysis include individuals most common , group sociology groups , social organization s and social artifact s. The literature of International Relations serves as a good example of unit of analysis. In Man, State and War , Kenneth N. Waltz creates a tripartite analysis with three different units of analysis the man individual , the state a group , and the international system the system in which groups interact . This is not to be confused with the unit of observation , which is the unit on which one collects data data on neighborhoods of people using the U.S. Census , on individuals using surveys, etc. . For example, a study may have a unit of observation at the individual level but may have the unit of analysis at the neighborhood level, drawing conclusions on neighborhood characteristics from data collected from individuals.
