A case for DOT: Theoretical Foundations for Objects with Pattern Matching and GADT-Style Reasoning

Yichen Xu, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki

Many programming languages in the OO tradition now support pattern matching in some form. Historical examples include Scala and Ceylon, with the more recent additions of Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, and Flow. But pattern matching on generic class hierarchies ...

Virtual ADTs for Portable Metaprogramming

Martin Odersky, Nicolas Alexander Stucki

Scala 3 provides a metaprogramming interface that represents the abstract syntax tree definitions using algebraic data types. To allow the compiler to freely evolve without breaking the metaprogramming interface, we present virtual algebraic data types (or ...

A Performance Evaluation of Local Features for Image-Based 3D Reconstruction

Pascal Fua, Bin Fan, Bin Fan, Zheng Wang, Xiao Wang

This paper performs a comprehensive and comparative evaluation of the state of the art local features for the task of image based 3D reconstruction. The evaluated local features cover the recently developed ones by using powerful machine learning technique ...

Towards Improved GADT Reasoning in Scala

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki, Paolo Giosuè Giarrusso

Generalized algebraic data types (GADT) have been notoriously difficult to implement correctly in Scala. Both major Scala compilers, Scalac and Dotty, are currently known to have type soundness holes related to them. In particular, covariant GADTs have exp ...

Simplicitly: Foundations and Applications of Implicit Function Types

Martin Odersky, Heather Christine Klug, 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 ...

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 ...

Miniboxing: Improving the Speed to Code Size Tradeoff in Parametric Polymorphism Translations

Martin Odersky, Vlad Ureche, Cristian Talau

Parametric polymorphism enables code reuse and type safety. Underneath the uniform interface exposed to programmers, however, its low level implementation has to cope with inherently non-uniform data: value types of different sizes and semantics (bytes, in ...

Implementing a Type Debugger for Scala

Martin Odersky, Hubert Plociniczak

Statically-typed languages offer type systems that are less and less comprehensible for programmers as the language grows in complexity. In this paper, we present a type debugger, a tool that enables analysis of type-related problems as well as exploration ...

Compiling structural types on the JVM: a comparison of reflective and generative techniques from Scala's perspective

Martin Odersky, Gilles Dubochet

This article describes Scala's compilation technique of structural types for the JVM. The technique uses Java reflection and polymorphic inline caches. Performance measurements of this technique are presented and analysed. Further measurements compare Scal ...

Flexible and Efficient Measurement of Dynamic Bytecode Metrics

Code instrumentation is finding more and more practical applications, but the required program transformations are often difficult to implement, due to the lack of dedicated, high-level tools. In this paper we present a novel instrumentation framework that ...
