Definite Reference Mutability (Artifact)

Abstract

Related paper "Definite Reference Mutability" presents ReM (Re[ference] M[utability]), a type system that separates mutable references into (1) definitely mutable, and (2) maybe mutable, i.e., references whose mutability is due to inherent approximation. We have implemented ReM and applied it on a large benchmark suite. Results show that ~ 86% of mutable references are definitely mutable. This article describes the tool artifact from the related paper. The purpose of the article and artifact is to allow researchers to reproduce our results, as well as build new type systems upon our code
