What is Type resolution in Ada: an implementation report about?

Various features of Ada [Ichbiah 79, Honeywell 80] make type resolution an interesting and difficult as implemented in a semantic analyzer for Ada built in 1979--80.First, a straightforward algorithm, similar to that of Ganzinger and Ripken [Ganzinger 80], is discussed. Next an optimized version of this algorithm is presented.The optimization is based on the idea that, in a tree-walking analysis in which the information developed on one branch can affect the analysis elsewhere, and where the difficulty of analysis is not uniform, analysis should be performed a little at a time wherever it is most likely to be useful rather than according to any data-independent, pre-planned method such as bottom-up or top-down. This raises the likelihood that the analysis of "simple" branches will occur early and so ease the computational cost of analyzing the more difficult branches.

Who reads Type resolution in Ada: an implementation report?
