In an interactive functional programming environment with a Milner-style polymorphic type system (Milner 1978), a modification to one definition may imply changes in the types of other definitions. A polymorphic typechecker must carry out some re-typechecking to determine all of these changes. This paper presents a new typechecking algorithm which performs fine-grained re-typechecking based on analysis of individual type constraints. The new algorithm is compared with that of Nikhil (Nikhil 1985), which performs re-typechecking of entire definitions. |
