A Generic Algorithm for Checking Exhaustivity of Pattern Matching

Fengyun Liu

Algebraic data types and pattern matching are key features of functional programming languages. Exhaustivity checking of pattern matching is a safety belt that defends against unmatched exceptions at runtime and boosts type safety. However, the presence of ...

Auto-Collections for Scala

Dmytro Petrashko, Allan Vincent Roger Renucci

Modern programming languages such as Scala, Java and C# make extensive use of collections. A collection implementation represents a fixed choice in the dimensions of operation time and space utilization. Using the collection in a manner not consistent with ...

On Satisfiability for Quantified Formulas in Instantiation-Based Procedures

Viktor Kuncak, Nicolas Charles Yves Voirol

Procedures for first-order logic with equality are used in many modern theorem provers and solvers, yet procedure termination in case of interesting sub-classes of satisfiable formulas remains a challenging problem. We present an instantiation-based semi-d ...

Improving the Interoperation between Generics Translations

Martin Odersky, Nicolas Alexander Stucki, Vlad Ureche, Romain Michel Beguet, Milos Stojanovic

Generics on the Java platform are compiled using the erasure transformation, which only supports by-reference values. This causes slowdowns when generics operate on primitive types, such as integers, as they have to be transformed into reference-based obje ...

Interoperation between Miniboxing and Other Generics Translations

Milos Stojanovic

Generics allow programmers to design algorithms and data structures that operate in the same way regardless of the data used by abstracting over data types. Generics are useful as they improve the programmer’s productivity by raising the level of abstracti ...

Igatools: an isogeometric analysis library

Pablo Antolin Sanchez

We present the design of an object oriented general purpose library for isogeometric analysis, where the mathematical concepts of the isogeometric method and their relationships are directly mapped into classes and their interactions. The encapsulation of ...

Compile-Time Type-Driven Data Representation Transformations in Object-Oriented Languages

Vlad Ureche

High-level languages allow programmers to express data structures and algorithms that abstract over the type of data they handle. This improves code reuse and makes it possible to develop general-purpose libraries. Yet, data abstractions slow down program ...

Language Support for Distributed Functional Programming

Software development has taken a fundamental turn. Software today has gone from simple, closed programs running on a single machine, to massively open programs, patching together user experiences byway of responses received via hundreds of network requests ...

Multi-Objective Parametric Query Optimization

Christoph Koch, Immanuel Trummer

Classical query optimization compares query plans according to one cost metric and associates each plan with a constant cost value. In this paper, we introduce the Multi-Objective Parametric Query Optimization (MPQ) problem where query plans are compared a ...
