      A usage analysis with bounded usage polymorphism and subtyping (English)

      Usage analysis aims to predict the number of times a heap allocated closure is used. Previously proposed usage analyses have proved not to scale up well to large programs. In this paper we present a powerful and accurate type based analysis designed to scale up for large programs. The key features of the type system are usage subtyping and bounded usage polymorphism. Bounded polymorphism can lead to huge constraint sets so to express constraints compactly we introduce a new expressive form of constraints which allows constraints to be represented compactly through calls to \textit{constraint abstractions}. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0977.68824].
