Hi all,

I consider using Dyninst for a University project and I need to instrument the access to a variable.
Therefore, it is necessary to find every usage of this variable in the whole program.
The Slicer class from the DataflowAPI seems to be right starting point. However, there seems to be no documentation.

Could someone please provide me some hints or some lines of code as a starting point?

There's a draft of the DataflowAPI manual checked into the main repository:

https://github.com/dyninst/dyninst/blob/master/dataflowAPI/doc/dataflowAPI.pdf

Depending on what symbols/debug information you have, you may not need slicing much/at all, but that's another topic entirely...

Thanks!
