Title
An approach to completing variable names for implicitly typed functional languages
Abstract
This paper presents an approach to completing variable names when writing programs in implicitly typed functional languages. As a first step toward developing practical systems, we considered a simple case: up to the cursor position the program text is given completely. With this assumption we specify a variable completion problem for an implicitly typed core functional language with let-polymorphism and show an algorithm for solving the problem. Based on the algorithm we have implemented a variable name completion system for the language as an Emacs-mode.
