Semantic optimization of OQL queries - Trigoni (2002)   (2 citations)  (Correct)

....any compile time type errors. This can be done either with respect to a specific schema (type checking) or just based on the structure of the query independent of any schema information (type inference) Both problems have been studied broadly for various languages during the last 30 years [BO96, Dam85, Gun92, Mil78, Sul00, Tof87] Typability issues have been considered for query languages in both relational and object oriented frameworks. A discussion about type checking an OQL query can be found in the ODMG standard [CBB 00] Unfortunately, this presentation of the type system is neither ....

Polymorphic Type Inference and Assignment - Leroy, Weis (1991)   (40 citations)  (Correct)

....for the applicative one, even though they have exactly the same semantics. As demonstrated here, the programming style (imperative vs. applicative) interferes with the type speci cations. This clearly goes against modular programming. Some enhancements to the ML type system have been proposed [4, 16, 17, 1], that weaken the restrictions over polymorphic mutable data. Standard ML [11] incorporates some of these ideas. These enhanced type systems make it possible to de ne many useful generic functions over mutable data structures, such as the function that copies a vector. However, these systems are ....

....let B; infer ( E; b; let = mgu( A; B ref ) in ( B; This algorithm enjoys the good properties of the Damas Milner algorithm: it is correct and complete with respect to the typing rules, and the inferred type is the most general one. The proof is very similar to Damas proof [4]. 3.6 Relation to ML We have introduced closure typing as a way to keep track of mutable values embedded in functions. As a consequence, two expressions having the same functional type in ML may now be distinguished by their closure type, and we may fear that this leads to a type system more ....

Proc. 20th Symp. Principles of Programming Languages.. - Polymorphism By Name   (Correct)

....by value, some typing restrictions must be put on generalization and or on the constructs that build references and continuations to avoid the inconsistent use of one reference or continuation object with di erent types. Several polymorphic type systems have been proposed that achieve this goal [3, 19, 15, 13, 20, 18], but they are either overly restrictive (many useful polymorphic functions that use references or continuations are rejected) or complicated and hard to understand from the programmer s standpoint. In contrast, with polymorphism by name, the simple, intuitive polymorphic type disciPage 1 ....

....evaluating ( r) true) causes 1 to be added to true, which is a run time type violation. With polymorphism by value, type safety can be compromised when a reference is given a non trivial polymorphic type. Several restrictions of the ML type system have been proposed that rule out this situation [3, 19, 13, 20, 18]. However, nding the right type system for ML with references is still an active research topic. The main diculty is to give a type system that is correct but not overly restrictive. On the one hand, it is not easy to statically control the propagation of references in a program. Since ....

....references to values of monomorphic, statically known types. This approach guarantees soundness, but makes it impossible to write polymorphic functions that create or use references. In his thesis, Damas introduced the rst type system to allow polymorphic use of functions that create references [Dam85]. Unfortunately, although his soundness theorem is not known to be false, the soundness proof is incorrect. Tofte was the rst to give a type discipline for polymorphic references together with a correct soundness proof [Tof88, Tof90] The central idea of Tofte s solution is to partition the ....

....properties of principal typings. It is well known that principal types in and ML are unique modulo highly trivial equivalences. In ) s there exist principal typing judgements of the form F M: which are unique up to renaming of type variables [35] and ML has principal quantified type schemes [19, 18] of the form VS. which are unique up to renaming of bound variables, reordering of quantifiers and dropping of dummy quantifiers. A similarly simple situation does not hold for subtyping systems, where equivalent, principal typings for the same term may differ in highly non trivial ways. This is ....

The type system of ML is polymorphic and has principal types, but its polymorphism is limited (some programs that arise naturally cannot be typed) and it does not have principal typings (see [17, 25]) System F [23] provides a much more general notion of polymorphism, but lacks principal types, and type inference is undecidable in general (although it is decidable for some subsystems, in particular if we consider types of rank 2 [27] Intersection type systems [12] are somewhere in the ....

Functional Encapsulation and Type Reconstruction in a.. - Gupta (1995)   (2 citations)  (Correct)

....projected through the abstraction both in static and dynamic semantics. We present a new language construct called close that achieves this functionality through the type system. The interaction of polymorphism and imperative programming has been the subject of active research in the past decade [Dam85, Tof90, AM89, LW91, Ler92, TJ92, Wri92] Several 27 type systems have been proposed in the literature spanning a wide range of expressiveness and complexity. We present a brief survey in Section 2.2. Since our main task is to provide an encapsulation mechanism for imperative program fragments, ....

....to be updated whenever there is a possibility of allocating a new mutable object or updating an existing mutable object. This has to be achieved in a flexible but sound manner within and across function and local block boundaries. Many type systems in the literature follow this general framework [Dam85, Tof90, LG88, JG91, Wri92, TJ92] The various systems differ in their notion of a store abstraction and the amount of information propagated across function boundaries. An illustrative comparison of some of these systems is presented in [OJ91] First, we will briefly describe two such systems ....

Type Inference Verified: Algorithm W in Isabelle/HOL - Naraschewski, Nipkow (1997)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....type. The computation of the most general type is called type inference. It was first studied by Hindley [11] in the context of combinatory logic and later independently by Milner [16] for Mini ML. Milner s type inference algorithm is known as algorithm W. Damas proved the completeness of W [4, 5]. This paper presents the first machine checked proof of soundness and completeness of W . It is an extension of the work by Nazareth and Nipkow [18] who treated the monomorphic case (no let expressions) A partial verification of W in the proof checker Coq is reported by Dubois and ....

We have not based our case study on the original system DM of Damas [5] since in the equivalent system DM there is exactly one inference rule for each syntactic construct, which means that DM is closer to W than DM. Note that the simplicity of the Abs rule is due to de Bruijn notation: the extended context (make scheme t1)#A takes care that the variable bound by ....

A number of type systems have been proposed to allow code such as the latter example while preserving soundness (Damas, 1985; Hoang, et al. 1993; Leroy and Weis, 1991; Talpin and Jouvelot, 1992a; Talpin and Jouvelot, 1992b; Wright, 1992) Of particular interest for this paper are those of Tofte (1988) which is used in the definition of SML, and MacQueen (1992) which is used in the New Jersey implementation of SML ....

This approach is taken by Leroy and Weis (1991) Talpin and Jouvelot (1992a; 1992b) and Wright (1992) A slightly different approach is given by Leroy (1992) where type arrows are labelled with the types of any values that may occur in references. Damas (1985) system has aspects of both Tofte s and those using effects, as it distinguishes references that have been created from those that may be created after further application. Reynolds (1989) uses an effects like system to detect interference such as aliasing of references. For a comparison of some ....

Also, the concrete syntax allows primitives and constructors to be used as #rst class values whereas the abstract syntax permits them only in the operator position of applications; such #rst class uses are automatically eta expanded by ....
