Verifying Resource Bounds of Programs with Lazy Evaluation and Memoization

Viktor Kuncak, Ravichandhran Kandhadai Madhavan, Sumith Kulal

We present a new approach for specifying and verifying resource utilization of higher-order functional programs that use lazy eval- uation and memoization. In our approach, users can specify the desired resource bound as templates with numerical holes e.g. ...

Function Passing: A Model for Typed, Distributed Functional Programming

Philipp Haller, Jocelyn Boullier

The most successful systems for “big data” processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate on which to build data-centric distributed systems. A key id ...

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 ...

Dependent Object Types

Nada Amin

A scalable programming language is one in which the same concepts can describe small as well as large parts. Towards this goal, Scala unifies concepts from object and module systems. In particular, objects can contain type members, which can be selected as ...

Specialising Parsers for Queries

Manohar Jonnalagedda

Many software systems consist of data processing components that analyse large datasets to gather information and learn from these. Often, only part of the data is relevant for analysis. Data processing systems contain an initial preprocessing step that fi ...

Call Graphs for Languages with Parametric Polymorphism

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche, Dmytro Petrashko

The performance of contemporary object oriented languages depends on optimizations such as devirtualization, inlining, and specialization, and these in turn depend on precise call graph analysis. Existing call graph analyses do not take advantage of the in ...

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 ...

Java and Scala's Type Systems are Unsound The Existential Crisis of Null Pointers

Nada Amin

We present short programs that demonstrate the unsoundness of Java and Scala's current type systems. In particular, these programs provide parametrically polymorphic functions that can turn any type into any type without (down) casting. Fortunately, parame ...

A Sound and Complete Axiomatization of Majority-n Logic

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Anupam Chattopadhyay

Manipulating logic functions via majority operators recently drew the attention of researchers in computer science. For example, circuit optimization based on majority operators enables superior results as compared to traditional logic systems. Also, the B ...
