Secondly we show how simple abstract domains which satisfy these conditions may be composed into more powerful and complex abstract domains which also satisfy the proposed requirements. We demonstrate the technique by constructing an abstract domain suitable for inferring (1) whether two variables are bound to terms with shared variables (2) whether a variable is bound to a ground term and (3) whether a variable is unbound or bound to another variable.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-88-45}
