Detection of Asynchronous Message Passing Errors Using Static Analysis
[chapter]
2011

Concurrent programming is hard and prone to subtle errors. ...
We have integrated our analysis in dialyzer, a widely used tool for detecting software defects in Erlang programs, and demonstrate its effectiveness on libraries and applications of considerable size. ...
Besides being the basis for most compiler optimizations, in recent years static analysis has been extensively used to detect software errors in programs, both sequential and concurrent. ...

Detecting Software Defects in Telecom Applications Through Lightweight Static Analysis: A War Story
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
To this effect, this paper describes the architecture and implementation of a software tool that uses lightweight static analysis to detect discrepancies (i.e., software defects such as exception-raising ...
Our tool, starting from virtual machine bytecode, discovers, tracks, and propagates type information which is often implicit in Erlang programs, and reports warnings when a variety of type errors and other ...

Detecting and Visualising Process Relationships in Erlang
2014
Procedia Computer Science
Static software analyser tools can help in program comprehension by detecting relations among program parts. ...
In case of dynamic languages only a (good) approximation of the real dependencies can be calculated. In this paper we present algorithms to build a process relation graph for Erlang programs. ...

We describe and document the techniques used in TYPER, a fully automatic type annotator for ERLANG programs based on constraint-based type inference of success typings (a notion closely related to principal ...
In particular, we describe and illustrate through examples a type inference algorithm tailored to ERLANG's characteristics which is modular, reasonably fast, and appears to scale well in practice. ...

Practical type inference based on success typings
2006
Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN symposium on Principles and practice of declarative programming - PPDP '06
In languages where the compiler performs no static type checks, many programs never go wrong, but the intended use of functions and component interfaces is often undocumented or appears only in the form ...
Unlike most static type systems, success typings incorporate subtyping and never disallow a use of a function that will not result in a type clash during runtime. ...

On the Impact of Programming Languages on Code Quality

2019
arXiv
pre-print
This paper is a reproduction of work by Ray et al. which claimed to have uncovered a statistically significant association between eleven programming languages and software defects in projects hosted on ...
We uncover a number of flaws that undermine the conclusions of the original study as only four languages are found to have a statistically significant association with defects, and even for those the effect ...

Concolic testing for functional languages
2017
Science of Computer Programming
In this paper, we demonstrate its application to a functional programming language core, a subset of the core language of Erlang, that supports pattern matching, structured recursive data types such as ...
Concolic testing has so far been applied, mainly at the level of bytecode or assembly code, to programs written in imperative languages that manipulate primitive data types such as integers and arrays. ...
Besides documentation, such type information can be used by tools, such as Dialyzer [12] , performing static analyses to detect definite type errors. ...

Simplifying Contract-Violating Traces
2012
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
Contract conformance is hard to determine statically, prior to the deployment of large pieces of software. ...
A major drawback with this technique is that, often, contract violations take time to surface, resulting in long traces that are hard to analyse. ...
Concurrency and distribution, inherent to Erlang programs, may yield different thread interleavings each time a system is executed, potentially resulting in non-deterministic behaviour. ...

Safe Commits for Transactional Featherweight Java
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
So it is useful to investigate different analysis methods to achieve safe concurrent programs. ...
This thesis develops and formally investigates different static analysis methods for various concurrency-related problems in concurrent object-oriented programming languages to guarantee the absence of ...
Nonetheless, since it is a symbolic analysis, static type checkers can detect type errors in all possible executions of the program as the state space to be checked at compile-time is finite in the size ...
