CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishSeveral logic-based languages, such as Prolog II and its successors, SICStus Prolog and Oz, offer a computation domain including rational trees that allow for increased expressivity and faster unification. Unfortunately, the use of infinite rational trees has problems. For instance, many of the built-in and library predicates are ill-defined for such trees and need to be supplemented by run-time checks whose cost may be significant. In a recent paper [3], we have proposed a data-flow analysis called finite-tree analysis aimed at identifying those program variables (the finite variables) that are not currently bound to infinite terms. Here we present a domain of Boolean functions, called finite-tree dependencies that precisely captures how the finiteness of some variables influences the finiteness of other variables. We also summarize our experimental results showing how finite-tree analysis, enhanced with finite-tree dependencies is a practical means of obtaining precise finiteness information.

| Abstract: | Several logic-based languages, such as Prolog II and its successors, SICStus Prolog and Oz, offer a computation domain including rational trees that allow for increased expressivity and faster unification. Unfortunately, the use of infinite rational trees has problems. For instance, many of the built-in and library predicates are ill-defined for such trees and need to be supplemented by run-time checks whose cost may be significant. In a recent paper [3], we have proposed a data-flow analysis called finite-tree analysis aimed at identifying those program variables (the finite variables) that are not currently bound to infinite terms. Here we present a domain of Boolean functions, called finite-tree dependencies that precisely captures how the finiteness of some variables influences the finiteness of other variables. We also summarize our experimental results showing how finite-tree analysis, enhanced with finite-tree dependencies is a practical means of obtaining precise finiteness information. | |
