Given the central role that C continues to play in systems software, and the difficulty of
writing safe and correct C code, it remains a grand challenge to develop effective formal …

We present Aeneas, a new verification toolchain for Rust programs based on a lightweight
functional translation. We leverage Rust's rich region-based type system to eliminate …

Rust claims to advance industrial programming by bridging the gap between low-level
systems programming and high-level application programming. At the heart of the argument …

Programmers can often improve the performance of their programs by reducing heap
allocations: either by allocating on the stack or reusing existing memory in-place. However …

Substructural type systems are growing in popularity because they allow for a resourceful
interpretation of data which can be used to rule out various software bugs. Indeed …

The Rust programming language continues to rise in popularity, and as such, warrants the
close attention of the programming languages community. In this work, we present a new …

The proliferation of shared mutable state in object-oriented programming complicates
software development as two seemingly unrelated operations may interact via an alias and …

Recently we have seen a renewed interest in programming languages that tame the
complexity of state and concurrency through refined type systems with more fine-grained …

We give a rigorous characterization of what it means for a programming language to be
memory safe, capturing the intuition that memory safety supports local reasoning about …

Aliasing is a known source of challenges in the context of imperative object-oriented
languages, which have led to important advances in type systems for aliasing control …
