Hi lex
I read your paper and tried to understand :) Long time ago I read the
PhD of Agesen and the master of Garau,
but I'm not sure I ever understood :) Anyway the paper is good and I
will really have a look at Chuck. I think that
we can build of lot of top of it.
Now I have some simple questions:
- Could we find a better characterisation of the goals to prune?
I imagine that certain smalltalk constructs or highly polymorphic
message sends could be prioritize to be pruned
first.
- Imagine a Smalltalk variant where we could annotate each AST node
with type information, which may be
wrong or absent. We could type check the code to make sure that there
is a kind of coherence between
the annotation but we could use this information for the inferencer.
So do you think that this would be worth?
- Alternately we could also analyze the name of the variable and
extract some kind of type information that
we could correlate with your findings.
