To fix a bug, software developers have to examine the bug-gy execution to locate defects. They employ different ap-proaches (e.g., setting breakpoints, inserting printing statements in the code) to navigate over buggy execution and inspect program state at ...
Scala is a general-purpose programming language developed at EPFL. It combines the most important concepts found in object-oriented and functional languages. Scala is a statically typed language; in particular it features an advanced type system and suppor ...
In 1968 Edsger Dijkstra wrote a letter to the editor of Communications of the ACM (CACM) stating his opinion about using the goto statement in programs. This letter would serve to begin a hot-headed debate within the programming community. This topic, howe ...
We describe the implementation of first-class polymorphic delimited continuations in the programming language Scala. We use Scala's pluggable typing architecture to implement a simple type and effect system, which discriminates expressions with control eff ...

Unresolved indirect branch instructions are a major obstacle for statically reconstructing a control flow graph (CFG) from machine code. If static analysis cannot compute a precise set of possible targets for a branch, the necessary conservative over-appro ...
Exercise The architectonic space is an exercise in architecture. It invites students to follow a particular approach to design that, for pedagogical purposes, limits the number of questions considered, in order to privilege a specific dimension of architec ...
The automated inference of quantified invariants is considered one of the next challenges in software verification. The question of the right precision-efficiency tradeoff for the corresponding program analyses here boils down to the question of the right ...
Scala is a new programming language bringing together object-oriented and functional programming. Its defining features are uniformity and extensibility. Scala offers great flexibility for programmers, allowing them to grow the language through libraries. ...

Pattern matching is a widespread programming language construct that enables definitions of values by cases, generalizing if-then-else and case statements. The cases in a pattern matching expression should be exhaustive: when the value does not match any o ...
