%T Formal Properties of Linear Memory Types %A Heng Huang %A Lea Wittie %A Chris Hawblitzel %R Technical Report TR2003-468 %I Dartmouth College, Computer Science %C Hanover, NH %D August 2003 %U http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/reports/TR2003-468.ps.Z %X Efficient low-level systems need more control over memory than safe high-level languages usually provide. As a result, run-time systems are typically written in unsafe languages such as C. This report describes an abstract machine designed to give type-safe code more control over memory. It includes complete definitions and proofs of preservation, progress, strong normalization, erasure, and translation correctness.
