Hi,
We are hoping to develop a static code analyzer for Elixir in order to detect concurrency issues (mainly deadlock and race conditions). We have some basic idea about the structure for the analyzer, but our problem is which AST would be better suited for this task. As we have understood the Elixir compilation process creates an Expanded Elixir AST, Abstract Erlang Format and Core Erlang.
My question is out of these whether the Expanded Elixir AST or Core Erlang would be better for creating the Call Graph and Control flow graph. And if we use Core Erlang is it possible to work our way backwards from Core Erlang to find the source within the Elixir code for the issues identified by the analyzer?
If anyone has some idea about this, your help would be really appreciated.
