Dynamic heap type inference for program understanding and debugging
C programs can be difficult to debug due to lax type enforcement and low-level access to memory. We present a dynamic analysis for C that checks heap snapshots for consistency wit...

Generative unbinding of names
This paper is concerned with a programming language construct for typed name binding that enforces -equivalence. It proves a new result about what operations on names can co-exist...

Lazy multivariate higher-order forward-mode AD
A method is presented for computing all higher-order partial derivatives of a multivariate function Rn R. This method works by evaluating the function under a nonstandard interpre...

Modular verification of a non-blocking stack
This paper contributes to the development of techniques for the modular proof of programs that include concurrent algorithms. We present a proof of a non-blocking concurrent algor...

Conditional must not aliasing for static race detection
Race detection algorithms for multi-threaded programs using the common lock-based synchronization idiom must correlate locks with the memory locations they guard. The heart of a p...

Logic-flow analysis of higher-order programs
This work presents a framework for fusing flow analysis and theorem proving called logic-flow analysis (LFA). The framework itthe reduced product of two abstract interpretations: ...

Assessing security threats of looping constructs
There is a clear intuitive connection between the notion of leakage of information in a program and concepts from information theory. This intuition has not been satisfactorily pi...

Towards a mechanized metatheory of standard ML
We present an internal language with equivalent expressive power to Standard ML, and discuss its formalization in LF and the machine-checked verification of its type safety in Twe...
