Abstract

Vale is a multi-purpose programming language that focuses on guaranteeing memory safety with minimal effect on performance. To accomplish this, Vale utilizes a memory management system called Hybrid Generational Memory (HGM). HGM uses generational references to track the state of objects in memory, and static analysis to reduce memory management overhead at runtime. This thesis describes the program that performs static analysis on Vale source code during compilation, and analyzes its effect on the performance of Vale programs.
