Abstract

Syntactic control of interference (SCI) (J.C. Reynolds, 1978) has long been studied as a basis for interference free programming, with cleaner reasoning properties and semantics than traditional imperative languages. The paper improves upon H. Huang and U.S. Reddy's (1996) type inference system for SCI based languages in two significant ways. First, we eliminate the need for explicit coercion operators in terms. Second, we consider adding let-bound polymorphism, which appears to be nontrivial in the presence of interference control. SCI can be adapted to a wide variety of languages, and our techniques should be applicable to any such language with SCI based interference control.
