| Abstract | Cyclone [1, 2] is an experimental, type-safe programming language based upon the syntax, semantics, and spirit of C. The primary goal of the language is to provide a type-safe environment that is close enough to C in both appearance and functionality, that systems programmers will find it attractive and useful.The most challenging aspect of the design is capturing the spirit of C without compromising type-safety. In particular, systems programmers expect to have good control over data representations, memory management, and performance. Yet, these features are usually absent from high-level, type-safe languages (e.g., Java). Another challenge is validating a sufficiently wide set of idioms that are in fact type-safe, but which conventional type systems reject.To address these issues, we have used a novel combination of typing features in conjunction with some interesting inference and dataflow techniques. The most novel typing feature is the support for region-based memory management which was summarized in an earlier paper [1]. However, this paper did not discuss the inference techniques we use to validate the regions and effects.In this talk, I will briefly summarize the Cyclone type system and then focus on the analysis issues that arise in its implementation, including (a) kind and type inference, (b) region and effect inference, and (c) dataflow analysis for validating initialization, array subscripts, and linear pointers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
