Type inference for unboxed types and first class mutability

Content Provider ACM Digital Library
Author Sridhar, Swaroop Shapiro, Jonathan S.
Abstract Systems programs rely on fine-grain control of data representation and use of state to achieve performance, conformance to hard-ware specification, and temporal predictability. The robustness and checkability of these programs could be greatly improved if modern type systems and programming language ideas, such as polymorphism and type inference, could be applied to these programs.BitC is a higher-order programming language in the tradition of ML and Haskell, extended to incorporate both state and the expression of unboxed and low-level datatypes. State and unboxed value types interact in subtle ways with polymorphic type-inference. Unless handled with care in the language design, interactions of these features can lead to unsoundness or results that are counter-intuitive to the programmer. Because instances of value types may have mutable components, a decision must be made concerning their compatibility at copy boundaries: should structurally equivalent types that differ only in their mutability be considered compatible. The choice impacts both the amount of polymorphism that the language can preserve and the burden of type annotation imposed on the programmer.This paper presents some of these challenges and our design for how to address these issues.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

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.
