A Simple Take on Typed Abstract Syntax in Haskell-like Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a simple way to program typed abstract syntax in a language following a Hindley-Milner typing discipline, such as Haskell and ML, and we apply it to automate two proofs about normalization functions as embodied in type-directed partial evaluation for the simply typed lambda calculus: normalization functions (1) preserve types and (2) yield long beta-eta normal forms.

Phantom Types
Phantom types are data types with type constraints associated with different cases. Examples of phantom types include typed type representations and typed higher-order abstract syntax trees. These types can be used to support typed generic functions, dynamic typing, and staged compilation in higher-order, statically typed languages such as Haskell or Standard ML. In our system, type constraints...
متن کاملFirst-Class Phantom Types
Classical phantom types are datatypes in which type constraints are expressed using type variables that do not appear in the datatype cases themselves. They can be used to embed typed languages into Haskell or ML. However, while such encodings guarantee that only wellformed data can be constructed, they do not permit type-safe deconstruction without additional tagging and run-time checks. We in...
متن کاملNormalization by evaluation with typed abstract syntax
We present a simple way to implement typed abstract syntax for the lambda calculus in Haskell, using phantom types, and we specify normalization by evaluation (i.e., type-directed partial evaluation) to yield this typed abstract syntax. Proving that normalization by evaluation preserves types and yields normal forms then reduces to type-checking the specification.
متن کاملStatically Verified Type-Preserving Code Transformations in Haskell
The use of typed intermediate languages can significantly increase the reliability of a compiler. By type-checking the code produced at each transformation stage, one can identify bugs in the compiler that would otherwise be much harder to find. We propose to take the use of types in compilation a step further by verifying that the transformation itself is type correct, in the sense that it is ...
