A program dependence graph and program slicer for the Swift programming language.

Caveats

Caramel supports only the following language features:

• Declaration of constants
• Declaration of variables
• for in statements
• guard statements (including optional binding)
• if statements (including optional binding)
• repeat while statements (including optional binding)
• switch statements
• while statements (including optional binding)
• Assignment expressions
• Binary operator expressions

Caramel is an intraprocedural slicer, it can only slice one function at a time.

Caramel does not work with mutating functions. It assumes assignments are only made at assignment statements.

Caramel is not designed to work with non-scalar values (such as arrays, structs, tuples) and can result in incorectness and/or imprecision in these cases.
