escape analysis

Hi,

I would like to know the pointers to studies on escape analysis for
methods (as in whether a method escapes a thread or not) for C++, I
have come across extensive literature on escape analysis for Java, but
could not locate anything on C/C++. With multithreaded C/C++
programming, does not escape analysis prove useful in compiler
optimization?

Thanks a lot

This is one work that I can point you to -
http://www.cag.lcs.mit.edu/~rinard/...eAnalysis.html.
Espeicially the paper on pointer analysis in multithreaded programs
including function pointers.
