Making sbt Macro-Aware

Macros made their first appearance as a fork of the Scala compiler and then as an experimental feature in the version 2.10.0 of Scala. Since macros are normal Scala functions that are executed by the compiler during the compilation of their clients, they c ...

Late Data Layout: Unifying Data Representation Transformations

Martin Odersky, Eugene Burmako, Vlad Ureche

Values need to be represented differently when interacting with certain language features. For example, an integer has to take an object-based representation when interacting with erased generics, although, for performance reasons, the stack-based value re ...

ScalaDyno: Making Name Resolution and Type Checking Fault-tolerant

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche, Cédric Bastin

The ScalaDyno compiler plugin allows fast prototyping with the Scala programming language, in a way that combines the benefits of both statically and dynamically typed languages. Static name resolution and type checking prevent partially-correct code from ...

Improving Human-Compiler Interaction Through Customizable Type Feedback

Martin Odersky, Hubert Plociniczak

Type errors reported by compilers can sometimes be cryptic, or difficult to understand. In this paper, we propose a type debugging framework that exposes a high-level representation of the typechecking decision-making process that users normally do not hav ...

Surgical Precision JIT Compilers

Tiark Rompf, Hassan Chafi

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation of running programs provides more optimization opportunities than offline compilation. Modern JIT compilers, such as those in virtual machines like Oracle's HotSpot for Java or Google's V8 for JavaScript, rely on dynamic prof ...

High performance computation of landscape genomic models integrating local indices of spatial association

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Pierre Taberlet

Motivation: The increasing availability of high-throughput datasets requires powerful methods to support the detection of signatures of selection in landscape genomics. Results: We present an integrated approach to study signatures of local adaptation, pro ...

Cyme: A Library Maximizing SIMD Computation on User-Defined Containers

Felix Schürmann, Timothée Ewart

This paper presents Cyme, a C++ library aiming at abstracting the usage of SIMD instructions while maximizing the usage of the underlying hardware. Unlike similar efforts such as Boost.simd or VC, Cyme provides generic high level containers to the users wh ...

Cryptanalysis of Chosen Symmetric Homomorphic Schemes

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár

Since Gentry’s breakthrough result was introduced in the year 2009, the homomorphic encryption has become a very popular topic. The main contribution of Gentry’s thesis was, that it has proven, that it actually is possible to design a fully homomorphic enc ...

Effect Analysis for Programs with Callbacks

Viktor Kuncak, Etienne Kneuss, Philippe Paul Henri Suter

We introduce a precise interprocedural effect analysis for programs with mutable state, dynamic object allocation, and dynamic dispatch. Our analysis is precise even in the presence of dynamic dispatch where the context-insensitive estimate on the number o ...

Scala Macros: Let Our Powers Combine!

Eugene Burmako

Compile-time metaprogramming has been proven immensely useful enabling programming techniques such as language virtualization, embedding of external DSLs, self-optimization, and boilerplate generation amongst many others. In the recent production release o ...
