Reachability analysis is a fundamental program analysis with a wide variety of applications. We present FlowCFL, a type-based reachability analysis that accounts for mutable heap data. The underlying semantics of FlowCFL is Context-Free-Language (CFL)-reachability.

We make three contributions. First, we define a dynamic semantics that captures the notion of flow commonly used in reachability analysis. Second, we establish correctness of CFL-reachability over graphs with inverse edges (inverse edges are necessary for the handling of mutable heap data).
Our approach combines CFL-reachability with reference immutability to avoid the addition of certain inverse edges, which results in graph reduction and precision improvement. The key contribution of our work is the formal account of correctness, which extends to the case when inverse edges are removed. Third, we present a type-based reachability analysis and establish equivalence between a certain CFL-reachability analysis and the type-based analysis, thus proving correctness of the type-based analysis.
