Travel Arrangements for PLDI 2010
A few days ago I registered for PLDI 2010, just in time for early registration, and booked my flights from Houston to Toronto and back. I’m looking forward to being back in Canada and seeing my third Canadian city. I’ll … Continue reading

The DrJava team released a new beta version of DrJava today, drjava-beta-20100415-r5220. I have integrated the February 17, 2010 of Mint with the new DrJava beta release and am happy to provide to you a new version of DrJava with … Continue reading
Short Summary
The last few days summed up: Happy Easter! Still working on propagating reachability-from information into the methods. That should allow me to do a simple run-once-run-many analysis. I noticed my scanner was broken too, not just the power supply. FedEx … Continue reading
Soot May-Happen-in-Parallel Analysis
I got Soot’s “may happen in parallel” (MHP) analysis to work, but only on a very small, completely unrealistic example which I used to test my “shared volatile” code (source below). Even for this, I needed to set the heap … Continue reading
Camera-Ready Version of PLDI Paper Submitted
This afternoon, I submitted the final camera-ready version of our Mint paper that was accepted to PLDI 2010, Mint: Java Multi-stage Programming Using Weak Separability. Eddy and I incorporated some more suggestions we had received from Julia Lawall and Sam … Continue reading
Back and Wanting More
This is my second day back from my talks at SIGCSE and Purdue, and I’m already wanting more. We’re finalizing our Mint paper for PLDI, and I’m thinking about a nifty assignment for the SPLASH/OOPSLA Educators’ Symposium. I couldn’t really … Continue reading
Happy About Purdue Talk
I’m really quite happy about the Mint talk I just gave at Purdue University. As a recurrent theme, I could have used a bit more practice, but it went a lot smoother than I would have expected, after just having … Continue reading
Mint Talk at Purdue
I’m visiting my friend Luke at Purdue after SIGCSE, and we arranged for me to give a talk to the CS department. If you have the chance, come grill me on Monday, March 15, 2010 at 3:30 PM. Computer Science … Continue reading
Short, Non-Technical Talks Are Hard
I just gave my talk Testing Concurrent Programs, A 7-Minute Jargon-Free Introduction to the students of the Thesis Writing Seminar of the School of Engineering here at Rice. It went very well, but I’ve got to say that this was … Continue reading
New Mint Release: r15116

The release is available from the Mint implementation page: JavaMint-r15116.tar.gz JavaMint-r15116-binaries.zip drjava-r5178-mint-r15116.jar There were some small changes in the approximation of weak separability to … Continue reading
<clinit> in The Thread of First Use
Question: In which thread does <clinit> run? Answer: is being executed in whatever thread uses the class first. package testers; import java.awt.EventQueue; public class CLInit { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { new CLInit2().doSomething(); EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() { public … Continue reading
Code<?> Escaped As Statement
A few days ago, I changed the Mint compiler to allow non-void code objects to be spliced in where statement form is required: Code x = ; Code c = ; This essentially generates the code below, which allows the … Continue reading
The Free Java Book
Corky just informed me that there is a talk by Daniel L. Schuster at SIGCSE 2010 about Java, games, and the Free Java Book. I’ll definitely check out the talk and the book. I’ll also examine how concurrency is handled … Continue reading
