Proof Methods for Corecursive Programs (2005)
Journal Article
Hutton, G., & Gibbons, J. (2005). Proof Methods for Corecursive Programs

Recursion is a well-known and powerful programming technique, with a wide variety of applications. The dual technique of corecursion is less well-known, but is increasingly proving to be just as useful. This article is a tutorial on the four main m...

Accurate Step Counting (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hope, C., & Hutton, G. (2005). Accurate Step Counting.

Starting with an evaluator for a language, an abstract machine for the same language can be mechanically derived using successive program transformations. This has relevance to studying both the space and time properties of programs because these ca... Read More about Accurate Step Counting.

Calculating an Exceptional Machine (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hutton, G., & Wright, J. (2005). Calculating an Exceptional Machine.

In previous work we showed how to verify a compiler for a small language with exceptions. In this article we show how to calculate, as opposed to verify, an abstract machine for this language. The key step is the use of Reynold's defunctionalizatio... Read More about Calculating an Exceptional Machine.
