abstract = { GADTs, short for Generalized Algebraic DataTypes, extend usual
algebraic datatypes with a form of dependent typing that has many useful
applications, but raises serious issues for type inference. Pattern
matching on GADTs introduces type equalities with limited scopes, which
are a source of ambiguities that may destroy principal types---and must be
resolved by type annotations. By tracing ambiguities in types, we may
tighten the definition of ambiguities and confine them, so as to request
fewer type annotations. Now in use in OCaml 4.00, this solution also
lifts some restriction on object types and polymorphic types that appeared
in a previous implementation of GADTs in OCaml. }

may change the type of terms without changing their behavior and can thus
be erased before reduction. Coercions in {F}-eta can model subtyping of
known types and some displacement of quantifiers, but not subtyping
assumptions nor certain form of delayed type instantiation. We generalize
F-eta by allowing abstraction over retyping functions. We follow a general
approach where computing with coercions can be seen as computing in the
lambda-calculus but keeping track of which parts of terms are
coercions. We obtain a language where coercions do not contribute to the
reduction but may block it and are thus not erasable. We recover erasable
coercions by choosing a weak reduction strategy and restricting coercion
abstraction to value-forms or by restricting abstraction to coercions that
are polymorphic in their domain or codomain. The latter variant subsumes
{F}-eta, {F}-sub, and {MLF} in a unified framework.},

These course notes are addressed to a wide audience of people interested in
modern programming languages in general, ML-like languages in particular, or
simply in OCaml, whether they are programmers or language designers,
beginners or knowledgeable readers ---little prerequiresite is actually
assumed.
\\
They provide a formal description of the operational semantics (evaluation)
and statics semantics (type checking) of core ML and of several extensions
starting from small variations on the core language to end up with the
OCaml language ---one of the most popular incarnation of ML--- including
its object-oriented layer.
\\
The tight connection between theory and practice is a constant goal: formal
definitions are often accompanied by OCaml programs: an
interpreter for the operational semantics and an algorithm for
type reconstruction are included.
Conversely, some practical programming situations taken from modular or
object-oriented programming patterns are considered, compared with one
another, and explained in terms of type-checking problems.
\\
Many exercises with different level of difficulties are proposed all along
the way, so that the reader can continuously checks his understanding and
trains his skills manipulating the new concepts; soon, he will feel
invited to select more advanced exercises and pursue the exploration deeper
so as to reach a stage where he can be left on his own.

We show that any functional language with record extension possesses
record concatenation for free. We exhibit a translation from the
latter into the former. We obtain a type system for a language with
record concatenation by composing the translation with typechecking
in a language with record extension. We apply this method to a
version of ML with record extension and obtain an extension of
ML with either asymmetric or symmetric concatenation. The latter
extension is simple, flexible and has a very efficient type
inference algorithm in practice. Concatenation together with
removal of fields needs one more construct than extension of
records. It can be added to the version of ML with record
extension. However, many typed languages with record cannot type
such a construct. The method still applies to them, producing type
systems for record concatenation without removal of fields. Object
systems also benefit of the encoding which shows that multiple
inheritance does not actually require the concatenation of records
but only their extension

isomorphism, Fzip can be also read back as a logic with the same

We explore partial type-inference for System F based on

require higher-rank polymorphism to be user-specified via type
annotations on source terms. We allow implicit predicative
type-containment and explicit impredicative type-instantiation. We
obtain a core language that is both as expressive as System F and
conservative over ML. Its type system has a simple logical specification
and a partial type-reconstruction algorithm that are both very close to
the ones for ML. We then propose a surface language where some
annotations may be omitted and rebuilt by some algorithmically defined
but logically incomplete elaboration mechanism.

Class-based objects can be programmed directly and efficiently in a
simple extension to ML. The representation of objects, based on
abstract and record types, allows all usual operations such as
multiple inheritance, object returning capability, and message
transmission to themselves as well as to their super classes. There
is, however, no implicit coercion from objects to corresponding ones
of super-classes. A simpler representation of objects without
recursion on values is also described. The underlying language
extends ML with recursive types, existential and universal types,
and mutable extensible records. The language ML-ART is given with a
call-by-value semantics for which type soundness is proved.

In the last five years there have been many proposals for adding
records in strongly typed functional languages. It is agreed that
powerful operations should be provided. However the operations are
numerous, and there is no agreement yet on which ones are really
needed, and what they should do. Moreover, there is no basic
calculus in which these operations can be described very easily.
We propose a projective lambda calculus as the basis for
operations on records. Projections operate on elevations, that is,
records with defaults. This calculus extends lambda calculus while
keeping its essential properties. We build projective ML from this
calculus by adding the ML Let typing rule to the simply typed
projective calculus. We show that projective ML possesses the
subject reduction property, which means that well-typed programs can
be reduced safely. Elevations are practical data structures that
can be compiled efficiently. Moreover, standard records are
definable in terms of projections.

coercions. We obtain a language where coercions do not contribute to the
reduction but may block it and are thus not erasable. We recover erasable
coercions by choosing a weak reduction strategy and restricting coercion
abstraction to value-forms or by restricting abstraction to coercions that

We present a variant of the explicitly-typed second-order polymorphic

reduction semantics that enjoys the subject reduction property.
Traditional closed existential types can be defined as syntactic
sugar. Conversely, programs with no free existential types can be
rearranged to only use closed existential types, but the translation is not
compositional.We argue that open existential types model abstract types and
modules with generativity.
We also introduce a new notion of paths at the level of types instead of

System F by its types and type-instance relation. Unfortunately,
the definition of type instance is only syntactic, and not
underpined by some underlying semantics. It has so far only been
justified a posteriori by the type soundness result.
In this work, we revisit MLF following a more progressive
approach stepping on System F. We argue that System F is not a
well-suited language for ML-style type inference because it
fails to factorize some closely related typing derivations. We
solve this problem in Curry's style MLF by enriching types with
a new form of quantification that may represent a whole
collection of System F types. This permits a natural
interpretation of MLF types as sets of System-F types and
pulling back the instance relation from set inclusion on the
interpretations. We also give an equivalent syntactic definition
of the type-instance, presented as a set of inference rules.
We derive a Church's style version of MLF by further refining
types so as to distinguish between user-provided and inferred
type information. The resulting language is more canonical than
the one originally proposed. We show an embedding of ML in MLF
and an encoding of System F into MLF. Besides, as MLF is more
expressive than System F, an encoding of MLF is given towards an
extension of System F with local binders.}

Les enregistrements, produits à champ nomm{\'e}s, sont une structure simple et

comme l'ajout de champs, restent d{\'e}licates dans un langage fortement typ{\'e}.
Les objets sont, au contraire, un concept très {\'e}volu{\'e}, expressif, mais
les difficult{\'e}s à les typer ou à les coder dans un lambda-calcul typ{\'e}
semblent refl{\'e}ter une complexit{\'e} intrinsèque.

Une technique simple et g{\'e}n{\'e}rale permet d'{\'e}tendre le typage des

polymorphe, l'extension, la possibilit{\'e} d'avoir des valeurs par d{\'e}faut et
une forme de concat{\'e}nation. En ajoutant à ces op{\'e}rations des types
existentiels, objets et classes deviennent directement programmables, sans
sacrifice pour leur expressivit{\'e}, mais au d{\'e}triment de la lisibilit{\'e} des
types synth{\'e}tis{\'e}s.

Une extension de ML avec des objets primitifs, Objective ML, à la base de la

We analyze the way in which a result concerning the absence of runtime
type errors can be expressed when the semantics of a language is
described using proof rules in what is sometimes called a natural
semantics. We argue that the usual way of expressing such results has
conceptual short-comings when compared with similar results for other
methods of describing semantics. These short-comings are addressed
through a form of operational semantics based on proof rules in what
we call a partial proof semantics. A partial proof semantics
represents steps of evaluation using proofs with logic variables and
subgoals. Such a semantics allows a proof-theoretic expression of the
absence of runtime type errors that addresses the problems with such
results for natural semantics. We demonstrate that there is a close
correspondence between partial proof semantics and a form of
structural operational semantics that uses a grammar to describe
evaluation contexts and rules for the evaluation of redexes that may
appear in such contexts. Indeed, partial proof semantics can be seen
as an intermediary between such a description and one using natural
semantics. Our study is based on a case treatment for a language
called RAVL for Records And Variants Language, which has a polymorphic
type system that supports flexible programming with records and
variants.

terms as the terms of an equational algebra. We prove decidability of

approximations of record terms by canonical terms, and show that
