Formal Language Recognition with the Java Type Checker

Authors: Yossi Gil and Tomer Levy

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 56, 30th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2016)


Abstract
This paper is a theoretical study of a practical problem: the automatic generation of Java Fluent APIs from their specification. We explain why the problem's core lies with the expressive power of Java generics. Our main result is that automatic generation is possible whenever the specification is an instance of the set of deterministic context-free languages, a set which contains most "practical" languages. Other contributions include a collection of techniques and idioms of the limited meta-programming possible with Java generics, and an empirical measurement demonstrating that the runtime of the "javac" compiler of Java may be exponential in the program's length, even for programs composed of a handful of lines and which do not rely on overly complex use of generics.
