Abstract	Dataflow analyses for concurrent programs differ from their single-threaded counterparts in that they must account for shared memory locations being overwritten by concurrent threads. Existing dataflow analysis techniques for concurrent programs typically fall at either end of a spectrum: at one end, the analysis conservatively kills facts about all data that might possibly be shared by multiple threads; at the other end, a precise thread-interleaving analysis determines which data may be shared, and thus which dataflow facts must be invalidated. The former approach can suffer from imprecision, whereas the latter does not scale. We present RADAR, a framework that automatically converts a dataflow analysis for sequential programs into one that is correct for concurrent programs. RADAR uses a race detection engine to kill the dataflow facts, generated and propagated by the sequential analysis, that become invalid due to concurrent writes. Our approach of factoring all reasoning about concurrency into a race detection engine yields two benefits. First, to obtain analyses for code using new concurrency constructs, one need only design a suitable race detection engine for the constructs. Second, it gives analysis designers an easy way to tune the scalability and precision of the overall analysis by only modifying the race detection engine. We describe the RADAR framework and its implementation using a pre-existing race detection engine. We show how RADAR was used to generate a concurrent version of a null-pointer dereference analysis, and we analyze the result of running the generated concurrent analysis on several benchmarks.
