Guidelines
Despite the remarkable age, the C language and its derivatives remain a tool of choice for programming various low-level, embedded and high-performance systems. A large portion of criticism of C arises from its lack of type system and generic-programming features, which complicate programming of large software and create significant space for programming errors. Although this problem has been sufficiently addressed in C++, simpler approaches exist. This thesis aims to explore the implementation of a data-oriented subset of the Hindley-Milner type system extended with Haskell-style typeclasses in a C-style programming language, with minimal changes to syntax and same run-time behavior and imperative semantics as in C. Such system should provide an interesting benefit of type inference in the whole program, together with a practical model of polymorphism and overloading that is currently used almost exclusively in functional programming. For demonstrating the results, a compiler from "C with typeclasses" to plain C will be implemented and tested on several example programs.
