In programming languages, k-CFA refers to a family of control flow analyses for higher-order programs that approximate which functions reach each call site using k levels of call-string context. This meaning comes from Shivers (1988) in Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN 1988 conference on Programming language design and implementation.[1]
