Abstract. This paper proposes to promote constraints to first-class status. In contrast to constraint propagation, which performs inference on values of variables, first-class co...
Abstract. We present a constraint system OF of feature trees that is appropriate to specify and implement type inference for first-class messages. OF extends traditional systems of...
We present the rst type reconstruction system which combines the implicit typing of ML with the full power of the explicitly typed second-order polymorphic lambda calculus. The sy...
Languages such as Scheme and Smalltalk that provide continuations as first-class data objects present a challenge to efficient implementation. Allocating activation records in a h...
