Infer Practitioners 2020

This first edition of the Infer Practitioners Workshop gathers together developers and researchers working with the Infer static analysis platform. Infer enables anyone to write their own scalable inter-procedural static analysis for C, C++, Objective-C, and Java source code in only a few lines of code. Infer is deployed at several companies where it helps developers write better code. Inside Facebook, thousands of code changes are analysed every month by Infer, leading to thousands of bugs being found and fixed before they reach the codebase. Infer is also being used in academia, both as a research tool and a teaching medium.

The goal of the workshop is to share knowledge about how to use and modify Infer in industrial and academic contexts.

Call for Presentations

We welcome contributed technical talks around a range of Infer-related topics, including but not limited to:

• new analyses implemented in Infer or using the results of existing Infer analyses
• Infer’s core components, eg its analysis scheduler, language frontends, …
• experience reports, for instance use of Infer in academic research, industry, or teaching

If you would like to give a talk please email an abstract of your presentation to jul|-at-|fb.com (replace |-at-| with @).

There will be no formal proceedings for this workshop.
