Constraint Handling Rules with Binders, Patterns and Generic Quantification

Logic in Computer Science 2017-07-11 v1

Abstract

Constraint Handling Rules provide descriptions for constraint solvers. However, they fall short when those constraints specify some binding structure, like higher-rank types in a constraint-based type inference algorithm. In this paper, the term syntax of constraints is replaced by λ\lambda-tree syntax, in which binding is explicit; and a new \nabla generic quantifier is introduced, which is used to create new fresh constants.
