A Typed Intermediate Language for Flow-Directed Compilation.

We present a typed intermediate languageλCILfor optimizing compilers
for function-oriented and polymorphically typed programming languages
(e.g., ML). The languageλCILis a typed lambda calculus with product, sum,
intersection, and union types as well as function types annotated with
flow labels. A novel formulation of intersection and union types supports encoding flow
information in the typed program representation.
This flow information can direct optimization.
