Type Soundness for Path Polymorphism

Path polymorphism is the ability to define functions that can operate uniformly over arbitrary recursively specified data structures. Its essence is captured by patterns of the form xy which decompose a compound data structure into its parts. Typing these kinds of patterns is challenging since the t...

description Path polymorphism is the ability to define functions that can operate uniformly over arbitrary recursively specified data structures. Its essence is captured by patterns of the form xy which decompose a compound data structure into its parts. Typing these kinds of patterns is challenging since the type of a compound should determine the type of its components. We propose a static type system (i.e. no run-time analysis) for a pattern calculus that captures this feature. Our solution combines type application, constants as types, union types and recursive types. We address the fundamental properties of Subject Reduction and Progress that guarantee a well-behaved dynamics. Both these results rely crucially on a notion of pattern compatibility and also on a coinductive characterisation of subtyping. © 2016 The Author(s)
