I'm trying to learn about this and related concepts for class, so I can't write much about it (yet?). Wikipedia seems to be missing an important branch of research here. I think this relates to Cyclomatic complexity somehow. -- Bilbo1507 05:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Same thing as basic block?

[edit]

Google Books finds [1] "A DD-path is a section of straight-line code between predicates in a program — or, more simply, a basic block." 188.27.81.64 (talk) 05:25, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently not under Jorgensen's definition, although it might be the same under Huang's. The latter used to be cited a lot, but more recently with Jorgensen giving free slides to instructors with his book, a lot of Jorgensen's definition pops up, especially in course materials.

I found Jorgensen's definition of "(improved) program graph" as "nodes are either statements or fragments of a statement, and edges represent flow of control [obvious explantion what the edges mean follows]". So definitely not a CFG. It appears it's defined in terms of some generic source language that itself isn't specified, like what's a "statement fragment" in that language.
