Heap data is potentially unbounded and seemingly arbitrary. Hence, unlike stack and static data, heap data cannot be abstracted in terms of a fixed set of program variables. This makes it an interesting topic of study and there is an abundance of literature employing heap abstractions. Although most studies have addressed similar concerns, insights gained in one description of heap abstraction may not directly carry over to some other description. In our search of a unified theme, we view heap abstraction as consisting of two steps: (a) heap modelling, which is the process of representing a heap memory (i.e., an unbounded set of concrete locations) as a heap model (i.e., an unbounded set of abstract locations), and (b) summarization, which is the process of bounding the heap model by merging multiple abstract locations into summary locations. We classify the heap models as storeless, store based, and hybrid. We describe various summarization techniques based on k-limiting, allocation sites, patterns, variables, other generic instrumentation predicates, and higher-order logics. This approach allows us to compare the insights of a large number of seemingly dissimilar heap abstractions and also paves the way for creating new abstractions by mix and match of models and summarization techniques.
