It is our pleasure to anounce the availability of the following paper:
A Dependently Typed Assembly Language
Hongwei Xi and Robert Harper
Abstract
We present a dependently typed assembly language (DTAL) in which the
type system supports the use of a restricted form of dependent types,
reaping some benefits of dependent types at assembly level. DTAL
overcomes several significant limitations in recently proposed
low-level languages including Java bytecode language and a typed
assembly language, which prevent them from handling certain important
compiler optimizations such as run-time array bound check elimination.
We also mention a compiler which generates code in DTAL from compiling
some high-level programs.
The paper is available as an OGI tech report: CSE-99-008, or as
http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~hongwei/DTAL/DTAL-full.ps
Also an extended abstract is provided for a smooth introduction.
