Types in Compilation
The importance of typed languages for building robust software systems is, by now, an undisputed fact. Years of research have led to languages with richly expressive, yet easy to use, type systems for high-level programming languages. Types provide not only a conceptual framework for language designers, but also a ord positive bene ts to the programmer, principally the ability to express and enforce levels of abstraction within a program. Early compilers for typed languages followed closely the methods used for their untyped counterparts. The role of types was limited to the earliest s- ges of compilation, and they were thereafter ignored during the remainder of the translation process. More recently, however, implementors have come to - cognize the importance of types during compilation and even for object code. Several advantages of types in compilation have been noted to date: { They support self-checking by the compiler. By tracking types during c- pilation it is possible for an internal type checker to detect translation errors at an early stage, greatly facilitating compiler development. { They support certi cation of object code. By extending types to the ge- rated object code, it becomes possible for a code user to ensure the basic integrity of that code by checking its type consistency before execution. { They support optimized data representations and calling conventions, even in the presence of modularity. By passing types at compile-, link-, and even run-time, it is possible to avoid compromises of data representation imposed by untyped compilation techniques.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Types in Compilation, TIC '98, held in Kyoto, Japan in March 1998. The book presents 13 revised full papers carefully selected during an iterated reviewing process together with three invited papers. The papers are organized in topical sections on typed intermediate languages, program analyses, program transformations and code generation, memory management, partial evaluation and run-time code generation, and distributed computing.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Types in Compilation, TIC 2000, held in Montreal, Canada in September 2000. The seven revised full papers presented have been carefully reviewed and selected from the workshop papers for inclusion in the book. The book focuses on the application of types in the implementation of programming languages. Among the topics addressed are intersection and union types, elimination, Java dynamic linking and loading, typed Assembly language, dynamic linking of native code, and type for recursive data structures.
