Abstract
The continuation-passing style translation often employed by compilers gives rise to a class of intermediate representation languages where functions are not allowed to return anymore. Though their primary use is to expose details about a program’s control flow, they may be equipped with an equational theory in order to be seen as specialized calculi. In this talk, we explore Thielecke’s CPS -calculus, a small theory of continuations inspired by compiler implementations, and present ongoing work on its metatheory, aiming to improve the development of formally checked compilers and type-directed optimization.
Series This talk is part of the SANDWICH Seminar (Computer Laboratory) series.
