Points-to analysis for Java benefits greatly from context sensitivity. CFL-reachability and k-limited context strings are two approaches to obtaining context sensitivity with different advantages: CFL-reachability allows local reasoning about data value flow and thus is suitable for demand-driven analyses, whereas k-limited analyses allow object sensitivity which is a superior calling-context a...

Okhotin, “Defining contexts in context-free grammars”, LATA 2012), the authors introduced an extension of the context-free grammars equipped with an operator for referring to the left context of the substring being defined.
