Abstract:

Abstract. We present SmartJavaMod, a language of mixin modules constructed on top of the Java language supporting compositional compilation. More in detail, this means that basic modules are collections of Java classes which can be typechecked in isolation, inferring constraints on missing classes needed to safely reuse the module in any context. Furthermore, it is possible to write structured module expressions by means of a set of module operators and a type system at the module level ensures type safety, in the sense that we can always reduce a module expression to a well-formed collection of Java classes. What we obtain is a module language which is extremely flexible and allows to express (without any need of enriching the core level, that is, the Java language), a variety of constructs. 1
