An Update on Deductive Synthesis and Repair in the Leon Tool

We report our progress in scaling deductive synthesis and repair of recursive functional Scala programs in the Leon tool. We describe new techniques, including a more precise mechanism for encoding the space of meaningful candidate programs. Our techniques ...

Quoted Staged Rewriting: A Practical Approach to Library-Defined Optimizations

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Staging has proved a successful technique for programmatically removing code abstractions, thereby allowing for faster program execution while retaining a high-level interface for the programmer. Unfortunately, techniques based on staging suffer from a num ...

Verification by Reduction to Functional Programs

Régis William Blanc

In this thesis, we explore techniques for the development and verification of programs in a high-level, expressive, and safe programming language. Our programs can express problems over unbounded domains and over recursive and mutable data structures. We p ...

Two approaches to portable macros

Eugene Burmako, Fengyun Liu

For any programming language that supports macros and has multiple implementations (each with different AST definitions), there is a common problem: how to make macros that operate on ASTs portable among different compiler implementations? Implementing por ...

Termination of Open Higher-Order Programs

Viktor Kuncak, Nicolas Charles Yves Voirol, Ravichandhran Kandhadai Madhavan

We study the problem of proving termination of open, higher-order programs with recursive functions and datatypes. We identify a new point in the design space of solutions, with an appealing trade-off between simplicity of specification, modularity, and am ...

Design and implementation of an optimizing type-centric compiler for a high-level language

Dmytro Petrashko

Production compilers for programming languages face multiple requirements. They should be correct, as we rely on them to produce code. They should be fast, in order to provide a good developer experience. They should also be easy to maintain and evolve. Th ...

Extending Safe C Support In Leon

Marco Adriano Antognini

As hardware designs get more robust and efficient, software can solve a wider range of challenges, each one more advanced than the previous one. The direct consequence is that software complexity grows continuously. Despite being used more frequently in de ...

Simplicitly: Foundations and Applications of Implicit Function Types

Martin Odersky, Fengyun Liu, Sandro Stucki, Olivier Eric Paul Blanvillain

Understanding a program entails understanding its context; dependencies, configurations and even implementations are all forms of contexts. Modern programming languages and theorem provers offer an array of constructs to define contexts, implicitly. Scala ...

Jumping the ORDER BY Barrier in Large-Scale Pattern Matching

Daniel Lupei

Event-series pattern matching is a major component of large-scale data analytics pipelines enabling a wide range of system diagnostics tasks. A precursor to pattern matching is an expensive ``shuffle the world'' stage wherein data are ordered by time and s ...

Miniphases: Compilation using Modular and Efficient Tree Transformations

Martin Odersky, Dmytro Petrashko, Ondrej Lhoták

Production compilers commonly perform dozens of transformations on an intermediate representation. Running those transformations in separate passes harms performance. One approach to recover performance is to combine transformations by hand in order to red ...
