NTHIA is a transformation-based editor for a functional subset of ML that lies somewhere between a structure editor and a framework
for formal program development. Users construct programs from existing code by applying editing commands that make a semantic
analysis of the program's behaviour, e.g., whether it is terminating. All analysis is done using the Oyster system, which is an implementation of proofs-as-programs. We concentrate on identifying analyses that can be done fully automatically
(e.g., using a decision procedure) and hence can be hidden from the user. As a result, C

NTHIA represents progress towards a goal of program editors that make an intelligent analysis of their code, but in a way that
requires no extra input from the programmer.

The explicit memory management and type conversion endow the C language with flexibility and performance that render it the de facto language for system programming. However, these appealing features come at the cost of programs’ safety. Due to the C language permissiveness, highly skilled but inadvertent programmers often spawn insidious programming errors that yield exploitable code. In this paper, we present a novel type and effect analysis for detecting memory and type errors in C source code. We extend the standard C type system with effect, region, and host annotations that hold valuable safety information. We also define static safety checks to detect safety errors using the aforementioned annotations. Our analysis performs in an intraprocedural phase and an interprocedural phase. The flow-sensitive and alias-sensitive intraprocedural phase propagates type annotations and applies safety checks at each program point. The interprocedural phase generates and propagates unification constraints on type annotations across function boundaries. We present an inference algorithm that automatically infers type annotations and applies safety checks to programs without programmers’ interaction. 相似文献

AI programming languages, such as lisp, prolog and pop-11, are always supported by sophisticated environments. Such environments include, at the least, incremental compilation and recompilation, an editor and debugging tools. Typical facilities included in AI programs are list processing, pattern matching and frames. A particularly important facility is functional programming, which marks the difference between AI and other languages.In choosing a language for a particular problem, you should be thinking in terms of which language will be the best base for building the language you really need. 相似文献

This paper deals with the problem of estimating a transmitted string Xs from the corresponding received string Y, which is a noisy version of Xs. We assume that Y contains any number of substitution, insertion, and deletion errors, and that no two consecutive symbols of Xs were deleted in transmission. We have shown that for channels which cause independent errors, and whose error probabilities exceed those of noisy strings studied in the literature [12], at least 99.5% of the erroneous strings will not contain two consecutive deletion errors. The best estimate X+ of Xs is defined as that element of H which minimizes the generalized Levenshtein distance between X and Y. Using dynamic programming principles, an algorithm is presented which yields X+ without computing individually the distances between every word of H and Y. Though this algorithm requires more memory, it can be shown that it is, in general, computationally less complex than all other existing algorithms which perform the same task. 相似文献

Objectives: OpenMusic (OM) is a domain-specific visual programming language designed for computer-aided music composition. This language based on Common Lisp allows composers to develop functional processes generating or transforming musical data, and to execute them locally by demand-driven evaluations. As most historical computer-aided composition environments, OM relies on a transformational declarative paradigm, which is hard to conciliate with reactive data-flow (an evaluation scheme more adequate to the development of interactive systems). We propose to link these two evaluation paradigms in the same and consistent visual programming framework.Methods: We establish a denotational semantics of the visual language, which gives account for its demand-driven evaluation mechanism and the incremental construction of programs. We then extend this semantics to enable reactive computations in the functional graphs.Results: The resulting language merges data-driven executions with the existing demand-driven mechanism. A conservative implementation is proposed.Conclusions: We show that the incremental construction of programs and their data-driven and demand-driven evaluations can be smoothly integrated in the visual programming workflow. This integration allows for the propagation of changes in the programs, and the evaluation of graphically designed functional expressions as a response to external events, a first step in bridging the gap between computer-assisted composition environments and real-time musical systems. 相似文献

The transition from imperative programming to functional programming for problems whose mathematical nature is not immediately obvious raises two questions. First, how can the function concept be applied to such problems, and, secondly, what language concepts are most suited in this situation. This paper shows that an existing functional programming language is very well suited for the elegant implementation of interactive programs. As an example, a text editor is described. The implementation of the editor has once more demonstrated the benefits of functional programming: fast generation of short and reliable programs. This indicates that it is worth while to investigate the application fields of functional programming languages as well as their implementation, in order to try to make them into general-purpose programming languages that can be used in a production environment. 相似文献

The research field of inductive programming is concerned with the design of algorithms for learning computer programs with
complex flow of control (typically recursive calls) from incomplete specifications such as examples. We introduce a basic
algorithmic approach for inductive programming and illustrate it with three systems: dialogs learns logic programs by combining inductive and abductive reasoning; the classical thesys system and its extension igor1 learn functional programs based on a recurrence detection mechanism in traces; igor2 learns functional programs over algebraic data-types making use of constructor-term rewriting systems. Furthermore, we give
a short history of inductive programming, discuss related approaches, and give hints about current applications and possible
future directions of research.

The objects-first strategy to teaching programming has prevailed over the imperative-first and functional-first strategies during the last decade. However, the objects-first strategy has created added difficulties to both the teaching and learning of programming. In an attempt to confront these difficulties and support the objects-first strategy we developed a novel programming environment, objectKarel, which uses the language Karel++. The design of objectKarel was based on the results of the extended research that has been carried out about novice programmers. What differentiates it from analogous environments is the fact that it combines features that have been used solely in them: incorporated e-lessons and hands-on activities; an easy to use structure editor for developing/editing programs; program animation; explanatory visualization; highly informative and friendly error messages; recordability. In this paper, we present the didactic rationale that dictated the design of objectKarel and the features of the environment, including the e-lessons. In addition, we present the results from the use of objectKarel in the classroom and the results of the students’ assessment of the environment. 相似文献

This paper deals with the problem of estimating a transmitted string X * by processing the corresponding string Y, which is a noisy version of X *. We assume that Y contains substitution, insertion, and deletion errors, and that X * is an element of a finite (but possibly, large) dictionary, H. The best estimate X + of X *, is defined as that element of H which minimizes the generalized Levenshtein distance D(X, Y) between X and Y such that the total number of errors is not more than K, for all X ∈H. The trie is a data structure that offers search costs that are independent of the document size. Tries also combine prefixes together, and so by using tries in approximate string matching we can utilize the information obtained in the process of evaluating any one D(X i , Y), to compute any other D(X j , Y), where X i and X j share a common prefix. In the artificial intelligence (AI) domain, branch and bound (BB) schemes are used when we want to prune paths that have costs above a certain threshold. These techniques have been applied to prune, for example, game trees. In this paper, we present a new BB pruning strategy that can be applied to dictionary-based approximate string matching when the dictionary is stored as a trie. The new strategy attempts to look ahead at each node, c, before moving further, by merely evaluating a certain local criterion at c. The search algorithm according to this pruning strategy will not traverse inside the subtrie(c) unless there is a “hope” of determining a suitable string in it. In other words, as opposed to the reported trie-based methods (Kashyap and Oommen in Inf Sci 23(2):123–142, 1981; Shang and Merrettal in IEEE Trans Knowledge Data Eng 8(4):540–547, 1996), the pruning is done a priori before even embarking on the edit distance computations. The new strategy depends highly on the variance of the lengths of the strings in H. It combines the advantages of partitioning the dictionary according to the string lengths, and the advantages gleaned by representing H using the trie data structure. The results demonstrate a marked improvement (up to 30% when costs are of a 0/1 form, and up to 47% when costs are general) with respect to the number of operations needed on three benchmark dictionaries. 相似文献

Copying garbage collectors are now standard for the memory-management subsystems of functional and object-oriented programming languages. Compacting garbage collection has correspondingly fallen out of favor. We revitalize the case for compaction by demonstrating that a simple compacting collector, extended with the generational garbage collection heuristic, exhibits performance as effectively as or better than a well-designed generational copying collector on real programs running in real environments. The observation that compaction preserves allocation order across collections leads to a new generalization of the generational heuristic that reduces the movement of long-lived objects. We measure the effect of substituting our compacting generational collector for a copying collector in Standard ML of New Jersey. 相似文献

Turner’s combinator implementation (1979) of functional programs requires the memory space of size Ω(n 2) in the worst case for translating given lambda expressions of lengthn to combinator graphs. In this paper a new idea named the BC-chain method for transferring actual arguments to variables is presented. We show that the BC-chain method requires onlyO(n) space for the translation. The basic idea is to group together into a single entity a sequence of combinatorsB, B′, C andC′, for a variable, which appear consecutively along a path in the combinator graph. We formulate two reduction algorithms in the new representation. The first algorithm naively simulates the original normal order reduction, while the second algorithm simulates it in constant time per unit operation of the original reduction. Another reduction method is also suggested, and a technique for practical implementation is briefly mentioned. 相似文献

The paper is devoted to untyped functional programs, which are defined as systems of equations with separating variables in the untyped γ-calculus [1, 2]. Basic semantics of such programs is usually defined by means of the fixed-point combinator Y. A theorem on semantics invariance with respect to the fixed-point combinator is proved. 相似文献

This paper describes an implementation of a system for programming using structured charts with interactive graphical support. It provides a graphical editor for the user to interactively build and edit programs using Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams (NSD)1 as the structured control constructs of logic flow. It can interpret a program in NSD chart form, and the execution sequence of the NSD is displayed at a graphical terminal. On-line debugging and testing facilities are available which allow the user to examine and modify the program under execution. The system has been designed with the aim of supporting the development, debugging, testing, documentation and maintenance of programs in the same environment. 相似文献

Incorporating aspect-oriented paradigm to a polymorphically typed functional language enables the declaration of type-scoped advice, in which the effect of an aspect can be harnessed by introducing possibly polymorphic type constraints to the aspect. The amalgamation of aspect orientation and functional programming enables quick behavioral adaption of functions, clear separation of concerns and expressive type-directed programming. However, proper static weaving of aspects in polymorphic languages with a type-erasure semantics remains a challenge. In this paper, we describe a type-directed static weaving strategy, as well as its implementation, that supports static type inference and static weaving of programs written in an aspect-oriented polymorphically typed functional language, AspectFun. We show examples of type-scoped advice, identify the challenges faced with compile-time weaving in the presence of type-scoped advice, and demonstrate how various advanced aspect features can be handled by our techniques. Finally, we prove the correctness of the static weaving strategy with respect to the operational semantics of AspectFun. 相似文献

Declarative testing is very important in logic program developments, as without testing no one can guarantee that every program is definitely correct, no matter how elegant and high-level the programming languages used. Unfortunately, the activity of declarative testing for logic programs (or even the ordinary testing for conventional programs) has received little attention. There is little formal theory of testing, and attempts to develop a methodology of testing are rare. In this paper, we provide a theoretical foundation for declarative testing in arbitrary first order logic programming using recursion theories. In particular, we present a theoretical analysis of three kinds of declarative testing method: I/O testing, I/Y testing, and X/Y testing for logic programs. 相似文献

The edit distance between given two strings X and Y is the minimum number of edit operations that transform X into Y without performing multiple operations that involve the same position. Ordinarily, string editing is based on character insert, delete, and substitute operations. Motivated from the facts that substring reversals are observed in genomic sequences, and it is not always possible to transform a given sequence X into a given sequence Y by reversals alone (e.g., X is all 0's, and Y is all 1's), Muthukrishnan and Sahinalp [S. Muthukrishnan, S.C. Sahinalp, Approximate nearest neighbors and sequence comparison with block operations, in: Proc. ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC), 2000, pp. 416-424; S. Muthukrishnan, S.C. Sahinalp, An improved algorithm for sequence comparison with block reversals, Theoretical Computer Science 321 (1) (2004) 95-101] considered a “simple” well-defined edit distance model in which the edit operations are: replace a character, and reverse and replace a substring. A substring of X can only be reversed if the reversal results in a match in the same position in Y. The cost of each character replacement and substring reversal is 1. The distance in this case is defined only when |X|=|Y|=n. There is an algorithm for computing the distance in this model with worst-case time complexity O(nlog2n) [S. Muthukrishnan, S.C. Sahinalp, An improved algorithm for sequence comparison with block reversals, Theoretical Computer Science 321 (1) (2004) 95-101]. We present a dynamic programming algorithm with worst-case time complexity O(n2) but its expected running-time is O(n). In our dynamic programming solution the weights of edit operations can vary for different substitutions, and the costs of reversals can be a function of the reversal-length. 相似文献

Staging is a powerful language construct that allows a program at one stage of evaluation to manipulate and specialize a program to be executed at a later stage. We propose a new staged language calculus, ??ML??, which extends the programmability of staged languages in two directions. First, ??ML?? supports dynamic type specialization: types can be dynamically constructed, abstracted, and passed as arguments, while preserving decidable typechecking via a System F??-style semantics combined with a restricted form of ?? ?? -style runtime type construction. With dynamic type specialization the data structure layout of a program can be optimized via staging. Second, ??ML?? works in a context where different stages of computation are executed in different process spaces, a property we term staged process separation. Programs at different stages can directly communicate program data in ??ML?? via a built-in serialization discipline. The language ??ML?? is endowed with a metatheory including type preservation, type safety, and decidability as demonstrated constructively by a sound type checking algorithm. While our language design is general, we are particularly interested in future applications of staging in resource-constrained and embedded systems: these systems have limited space for code and data, as well as limited CPU time, and specializing code for the particular deployment at hand can improve efficiency in all of these dimensions. The combination of dynamic type specialization and staging across processes greatly increases the utility of staged programming in these domains. We illustrate this via wireless sensor network programming examples. 相似文献

For high order interpolations at both end points of two rational Bézier curves, we introduce the concept of C(v,u)-continuity and give a matrix expression of a necessary and sufficient condition for satisfying it. Then we propose three new algorithms, in a unified approach, for the degree reduction of Bézier curves, approximating rational Bézier curves by Bézier curves and the degree reduction of rational Bézier curves respectively; all are in L2 norm and C(v,u)-continuity is satisfied. The algorithms for the first and second problems can get the best approximation results, and for the third one, resorting to the steepest descent method in numerical optimization obtains a series of degree reduced curves iteratively with decreasing approximation errors. Compared to some well-known algorithms for the degree reduction of rational Bézier curves, such as the uniformizing weights algorithm, canceling the best linear common divisor algorithm and shifted Chebyshev polynomials algorithm, the new one presented here can give a better approximation error, do multiple degrees of reduction at a time and preserve high order interpolations at both end points. 相似文献
