## Building

    go build

## Usage

Start by copying the example configs, `config/aerc.conf` and
`config/accounts.conf` and editing them to taste, to `~/.config`. Then run
`./aerc2`.

## This module implements the write tracking analysis. Read my block post for
## a basic description of the algorithm and ideas.
## The algorithm operates in 2 phases:
##
##   * Collecting information about assignments (and pass-by-var calls).
##   * Computing an aliasing relation based on the assignments. This relation
##     is then used to compute the 'writes' and 'escapes' effects.
