An implementation of a type-preserving Compiler, derived from the paper
From System F to Typed Assembly Language by Morrisett, Walker, Crary, Glew
I was inspired to implement this paper while preparing for Papers We Love.
The implementation includes all passes described in the paper:
- F ==> K (Typed CPS conversion)
- K ==> C (Polymorphic closure conversion)
- C ==> H (Hoisting, reuses the C language)
- H ==> A (Allocation)
- A ==> TAL (Code generation)
Each language (F, K, C, A, TAL) is defined in the corresponding source file. These implementations include the abstract syntax, small-step operational semantics, and type checker for the languages. The file [Util.hs](src/Util.hs) contains definitions common to all implementations.
The compiler itself is in the file [translate.hs](src/translate.hs). To run the compiler, load this file into ghci and try out one of the sample programs from [F.hs](src/F.hs).
In particular, you can try
Translate*> printM $ compile F.sixfact
to see the TAL output for the factorial function applied to six.
If you would like to compile and then run this function you can try:
Translate*> test F.sixfact
