Static techniques for reducing memory usage in the C implementation of Whiley programs. In Proceedings of Australasian Computer Science Week Multiconference, ACSW ’17, January 30-February 03, 2017, Article No. 15. New York, USA: ACM. https://doi.org/10.1145/3014812.30148279781450347686https://hdl.handle.net/10289/11067Languages that use call-by-value semantics, such as Whiley, can make program verification easier. But effcient implementation becomes harder, due to the overhead of copying and garbage collection. This paper describes how a mixture of static analysis and runtime-monitoring can be used to eliminate unnecessary copying and deallocate memory with- out garbage collection. We show that this allows Whiley programs to be translated into effcient C implementations.application/pdfen© ACM, 2017. This is the author's version of the work.
