Exploring Infinite Loops in Symbolic Execution and C++ Static Analysis Advancements

This chapter explores the difficulties encountered in dealing with infinite loops in symbolic execution and introduces new breakthroughs in static analysis, including the incorporation of machine learning in symbolic execution and the use of specialized languages like Daphne. Additionally, it covers the developments in C++ static analysis through tools like AutoConfig from Sonar that improve code understanding and dependency management beyond traditional compiler capabilities.
