Incremental Points-to Analysis?

[Joel Jones <jones@cs.ua.edu>]

First, I would like to thank everyone who makes soot possible.  I 
appreciate the great amount of effort that goes into a project like 
this.

Fall semester, I had students in my graduate compiler class use soot 
to develop an analysis for detecting problems with the use of 
hashCode and equals.  One of
the problems we encountered were the long run times.  Perhaps we were 
doing something wrong, but it seemed that even the most trivial of 
programs would require 8-10 minutes to analyze.  As the overall goal 
of my research is to have an IDE that can detect design problems, 
some sort of incremental analysis seems necessary.  I have examined 
the web site carefully, but have been unable to find any work on 
incremental points-to analysis.  Have I missed something?
