Type inference features

Open asgerf opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

Tracking issue for missing type inference features, not including minor fixes, and in no particular order.

Soundness:

  • [ ] Handle objects with user-defined noSuchMethod
  • [x] Handle objects with user-defined call method
  • [ ] Handle and/or bailout on dart:mirror usage
  • [ ] Get fine-grained external method behavior from file or metadata
  • [ ] Get entry point specification from file

Precision:

  • [x] Track bitmask with nullability and other particularly important values
  • [ ] Integrate with strong mode
  • [ ] Join closures using function signature
  • [ ] Specialize generics
  • [ ] Generate proper lattice using intersection types, to ensure iteration order-independence
  • [x] Track base information
  • [ ] Distinguish integers and doubles in arithmetic
  • [ ] Perform tree-shaking analysis: do not analyze unreachable code

Tooling:

  • [x] Transformation to dynamically check correctness inference results
  • [ ] Better visualization of constraint system
  • [ ] Backtracking tool for understanding results of inference
