- We are about to undertake on a project to study pointer usage in
- computer programs, and were wondering if anybody has written a tool that
- will tell you what percentage of loads are, in fact, just getting addresses
- for pointer dereferences...
-
- If such a tool has been written, we would like to save ourselves the
- time of writing it. If not, we would appreciate any suggestions on how we'd
- go about doing this.

- Toodlepip!
