> abstract interpretation

That's not what static analysis (which includes things like type-checking) means and that's not something you can do with general-purpose code, for reasons related to Rice's theorem.



Type-checking is one of the classical examples of abstract interpretation — it's mentioned in the original Cousot & Cousot paper (1977). Maybe you're thinking of something else?
