Semantics-preserving inlining for metaprogramming

Martin Odersky, Sébastien Jean R Doeraene, Nicolas Alexander Stucki

Inlining is used in many different ways in programming languages: some languages use it as a compiler-directive solely for optimization, some use it as a metaprogramming feature, and others lay their design in-between. This paper presents inlining through ...

Formal foundations for GADTs in Scala

GADTs are a very useful language feature that allow encoding some invariants in types. GADT reasoning is currently implemented in Scala and Dotty, but it’s plagued with soundness issues. To get a better understanding of GADTs in Scala, we explore how they ...

HALucinator: Firmware Re-hosting Through Abstraction Layer Emulation

Mathias Josef Payer

Given the increasing ubiquity of online embedded devices, analyzing their firmware is important to security, privacy, and safety. The tight coupling between hardware and firmware and the diversity found in embedded systems makes it hard to perform dynamic ...

Celsius: A Model for Safe Initialization of Objects

Martin Odersky, Fengyun Liu, Paolo Giosuè Giarrusso

Accessing uninitialized data during object initialization is a common and subtle programming error. This error is either not prevented by mainstream languages, like in Java, C++, Scala, or it is prevented by greatly restricting initialization patterns, lik ...

Verified Functional Programming

Nicolas Charles Yves Voirol

In this thesis, we present Stainless, a verification system for an expressive subset of the Scala language. Our system is based on a dependently-typed language and an algorithmic type checking procedure which ensures total correctness. We rely on SMT solve ...

Finally, a Polymorphic Linear Algebra Language

Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Many different data analytics tasks boil down to linear algebra primitives. In practice, for each different type of workload, data scientists use a particular specialised library. In this paper, we present Pilatus, a polymorphic iterative linear algebra la ...

The asymmetric multitype contact process

Thomas Mountford, Daniel Rodrigues Valesin

We study the multitype contact process on Z(d) under the assumption that one of the types has a birth rate that is larger than that of the other type, and larger than the critical value of the standard contact process. We prove that, if initially present, ...

Cross-Platform Language Design

Sébastien Jean R Doeraene

Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model. Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes. A language targeting only one runtim ...

Unifying Analytic and Statically-Typed Quasiquotes

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Metaprograms are programs that manipulate (generate, analyze and evaluate) other programs. These tasks are greatly facilitated by quasiquotation, a technique to construct and deconstruct program fragments using quoted code templates expressed in the syntax ...

Compilation and Code Optimization for Data Analytics

Amir Shaikhha

The trade-offs between the use of modern high-level and low-level programming languages in constructing complex software artifacts are well known. High-level languages allow for greater programmer productivity: abstraction and genericity allow for the same ...
