Type-Directed Operational Semantics for Gradual Typing (Artifact)

Authors: Wenjia Ye, Bruno C. d. S. Oliveira, and Xuejing Huang

Published in: DARTS, Volume 7, Issue 2, Special Issue of the 35th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2021)

Abstract
This artifact includes the Coq formalization associated with the paper Type-Directed Operational Semantics for Gradual Typing submitted in ECOOP 2021. The paper illustrates how to employ TDOS on gradually typed languages using two calculi. The first calculus, called λB, is inspired by the semantics of the blame calculus(λB^g) and is sound with λB^g. The second calculus, called λB^r, explores a different design space in the semantics of gradually typed languages. This document explains how to run the Coq formalization. Artifact can either be compiled in the pre-built docker image with all the dependencies installed or it could be built from the scratch. Sections 1-7 explain the basic information about the artifact. Section 7 explains how to get the docker image for the artifact. Section 8 explains the prerequisites and the steps to run coq files from scratch. Section 9 explains coq files briefly. Section 10 shows the correspondence of important lemmas, definitions and pictures discussed in the paper with their respective Coq formalization.

Type-Directed Operational Semantics for Gradual Typing

Authors: Wenjia Ye, Bruno C. d. S. Oliveira, and Xuejing Huang

Abstract
The semantics of gradually typed languages is typically given indirectly via an elaboration into a cast calculus. This contrasts with more conventional formulations of programming language semantics, where the semantics of a language is given directly using, for instance, an operational semantics. This paper presents a new approach to give the semantics of gradually typed languages directly. We use a recently proposed variant of small-step operational semantics called type-directed operational semantics (TDOS). In TDOS type annotations become operationally relevant and can affect the result of a program. In the context of a gradually typed language, such type annotations are used to trigger type-based conversions on values. We illustrate how to employ TDOS on gradually typed languages using two calculi. The first calculus, called λ B^g, is inspired by the semantics of the blame calculus, but it has implicit type conversions, enabling it to be used as a gradually typed language. The second calculus, called λ B^r, explores a different design space in the semantics of gradually typed languages. It uses a so-called blame recovery semantics, which enables eliminating some false positives where blame is raised but normal computation could succeed. For both calculi, type safety is proved. Furthermore we show that the semantics of λ B^g is sound with respect to the semantics of the blame calculus, and that λ B^r comes with a gradual guarantee. All the results have been mechanically formalized in the Coq theorem prover.
