TreatJS: Higher-Order Contracts for JavaScript (Artifact)

Authors: Matthias Keil and Peter Thiemann

Published in: DARTS, Volume 1, Issue 1, Special Issue of the 29th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2015)

Abstract
TreatJS is a language embedded, higher-order contract system for JavaScript which enforces contracts by run-time monitoring. Beyond providing the standard abstractions for building higher-order contracts (base, function, and object contracts), TreatJS's novel contributions are its guarantee of non-interfering contract execution, its systematic approach to blame assignment, its support for contracts in the style of union and intersection types, and its notion of a parameterized contract scope, which is the building block for composable run-time generated contracts that generalize dependent function contracts. TreatJS} is implemented as a library so that all aspects of a contract can be specified using the full JavaScript language. The library relies on JavaScript proxies to guarantee full interposition for contracts. It further exploits JavaScript's reflective features to run contracts in a sandbox environment, which guarantees that the execution of contract code does not modify the application state. No source code transformation or change in the JavaScript run-time system is required.

Transparent Object Proxies for JavaScript (Artifact)

Authors: Matthias Keil, Sankha Narayan Guria, Andreas Schlegel, Manuel Geffken, and Peter Thiemann

Published in: DARTS, Volume 1, Issue 1, Special Issue of the 29th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2015)

Abstract
This artifact provides two prototype extensions of the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine. Both extensions implement alternative designs for transparent proxies that are better suited for use cases such as certain contract wrappers and access restricting membranes. The first prototype extends the proxy handler by an isTransparent trap that regulates the proxy's transparency. The second prototype implements a new global object TransparentProxy that implements the constructor for transparent proxy objects.

TreatJS: Higher-Order Contracts for JavaScripts

Transparent Object Proxies in JavaScript

Authors: Matthias Keil, Sankha Narayan Guria, Andreas Schlegel, Manuel Geffken, and Peter Thiemann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 37, 29th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2015)

Abstract
Proxies are the swiss army knives of object adaptation. They introduce a level of indirection to intercept select operations on a target object and divert them as method calls to a handler. Proxies have many uses like implementing access control, enforcing contracts, virtualizing resources. One important question in the design of a proxy API is whether a proxy object should inherit the identity of its target. Apparently proxies should have their own identity for security-related applications whereas other applications, in particular contract systems, require transparent proxies that compare equal to their target objects. We examine the issue with transparency in various use cases for proxies, discuss different approaches to obtain transparency, and propose two designs that require modest modifications in the JavaScript engine and cannot be bypassed by the programmer. We implement our designs in the SpiderMonkey JavaScript interpreter and bytecode compiler. Our evaluation shows that these modifications of have no statistically significant impact on the benchmark performance of the JavaScript engine. Furthermore, we demonstrate that contract systems based on wrappers require transparent proxies to avoid interference with program execution in realistic settings.

Symbolic Solving of Extended Regular Expression Inequalities

Authors: Matthias Keil and Peter Thiemann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 29, 34th International Conference on Foundation of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2014)

Abstract
This paper presents a new algorithm for the containment problem for extended regular expressions that contain intersection and complement operators and that range over infinite alphabets. The algorithm solves extended regular expressions inequalities symbolically by term rewriting and thus avoids the translation to an expression-equivalent automaton. Our algorithm is based on Brzozowski's regular expression derivatives and on Antimirov's term-rewriting approach to check containment. To deal with large or infinite alphabets effectively, we generalize Brzozowski's derivative operator to work with respect to (potentially infinite) representable character sets.
