TITLE

Patching Bugs with Crayons

ABSTRACT

Graph labelling and code generation/analysis go way back, e.g. in register allocation and instruction scheduling. Can graph labelling be also used to fix bugs? In this talk I would like to discuss with you some of my ideas to use graph labelling as a way to generate correct by construction fixes for certain kinds of bugs in the absence of test suites.
