Type checking and type inference are fundamentally similar problems. However, the algorithms for performing the two operations, on the same type system, often differ significant...
Abadi and Cardelli have recently investigated a calculus of objects [2]. The calculus supports a key feature of object-oriented languages: an object can be emulated by another obj...
Abstract. We study the type system introduced by Boyapati and Rinard in their paper “A Parameterized Type System for Race-Free Java Programs” and try to infer the type annotati...
Gradual typing lets programmers evolve their dynamically typed programs by gradually adding explicit type annotations, which confer benefits like improved performance and fewer r...
We present a multi-lingual type inference system for checking type safety of programs that use the Java Native Interface (JNI). The JNI uses specially-formatted strings to represe...
