rbb506e0 raacd1e1 131 131 \begin{center}\textbf{Abstract}\end{center} 132 132 133 \CFA (C-for-all) is an evolutionary extension of C programming language, which introduces many modern programming language features to C. 134 \CFA has a type system built around parametric polymorphism, and the polymorphic functions are prefixed by a @forall@ declaration of type parameters, giving the language its name. 135 136 This thesis presents a series of work on type resolution in \CFA. Every function, including the built-in C operators, can be overloaded in \CFA, therefore resolving function overloads and generic type parameters is at the heart of \CFA expression analysis. This thesis focuses on the interactions of various \CFA language features such as reference and generic types in type resolution, analyzes the known issues and presents improvements to the type system that fix those problems. Ideas for future work are also given for further improving the consistency of \CFA type system at a language design level. 133 \CFA (C-for-all) is an evolutionary extension of the C programming language, which introduces many modern programming language features to C. 134 \CFA has a type system built around parametric polymorphism, and the polymorphic functions are prefixed by a @forall@ declaration of type parameters, giving the language its name. 135 136 This thesis presents a series of work I did on type resolution in \CFA. 137 Every function, including the built-in C operators, can be overloaded in \CFA, therefore resolving function overloads and generic type parameters is at the heart of \CFA expression analysis. 138 This thesis focuses on the interactions of various \CFA language features such as reference and generic types in type resolution, analyzes the known issues and presents improvements to the type system that fix several of the problems. 139 Ideas for future work are also given for further improving the consistency of the \CFA type-system at a language design level. 137 140 138 141 \cleardoublepage
