77
78\CFA is a modern, non-object-oriented extension of the C programming language.
79This thesis addresses several critical deficiencies of C, notably: resource management, a limited function-return mechanism, and unsafe variadic functions.
80To solve these problems, two fundamental language features are introduced: tuples and constructors/destructors.
81While these features exist in prior programming languages, the contribution of this work is engineering these features into a highly complex type system.
82C is an established language with a dedicated user-base.
83An important goal is to add new features in a way that naturally feels like C, to appeal to this core user-base, and due to huge amounts of legacy code, maintaining backwards compatibility is crucial.

92
93I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Peter Buhr, for all of his help, including reading the many drafts of this thesis and providing guidance throughout my degree.
94This work would not have been as enjoyable, nor would it have been as strong without Peter's knowledge, help, and encouragement.
95
96I would like to thank my readers, Professors Gregor Richards and Patrick Lam for all of their helpful feedback.
97
98Thanks to Aaron Moss and Thierry Delisle for many helpful discussions, both work-related and not, and for all of the work they have put into the \CFA project.
99This thesis would not have been the same without their efforts.
100
101I thank Glen Ditchfield and Richard Bilson, for all of their help with both the design and implementation of \CFA.
102
103I thank my partner, Erin Blackmere, for all of her love and support.
104Without her, I would not be who I am today.
105
106Thanks to my parents, Bob and Jackie Schluntz, for their love and support throughout my life, and for always encouraging me to be my best.
107
108Thanks to my best friends, Travis Bartlett, Abraham Dubrisingh, and Kevin Wu, whose companionship is always appreciated.
109The time we've spent together over the past 4 years has always kept me entertained.
110An extra shout-out to Kaleb Alway, Max Bardakov, Ten Bradley, and Ed Lee, with whom I've shared many a great meal; thank you for being my friend.
