These are the only types a \wildFJ{} program needs to be correctly typed. The type placeholders flagged as wildcard placeholders are intermediate types used in let statements and as type parameters for generic method calls. %Unify needs to return S aswell and guarantee that the \Delta' environment are the wildcards % only used inside the constraint the wildcard variable occurs % should Unify also return the \Delta' environment? Otherwise the bounds of free wildcard variables are lost % Or is it possible to deduct the right \ol{S} directly from the types in the normal TPHs? \textit{Proof:} By structural induction over the expression $\texttt{e}$. \begin{description} \item[$\texttt{e}.\texttt{f}$] Let $\sigma(\tv{r}) = \wcNtype{\Delta_c}{N}$, then $\Delta|\Gamma \vdash \texttt{e} : \wcNtype{\Delta_c}{N}$ by assumption. $\Delta', \Delta, \Delta_c \vdash \type{N} <: \sigma(\exptype{C}{\overline{\wtv{a}}})$ by premise. %Let $\sigma(\tv{r}) = \wcNtype{\Delta'}{N}$. %Let $\sigma([\ol{\wtv{a}}/\ol{X}]\type{T}) = \wcNtype{\Delta_t}{N_t}$. The completion of $|\texttt{e}.\texttt{f}|$ is $\texttt{let}\ \texttt{x} = \texttt{e} : \wcNtype{\Delta_c}{N}\ \texttt{in} \ \texttt{x}.\texttt{f}$ We now show $\Delta|\Gamma \vdash \texttt{let}\ \texttt{x} = \texttt{e} : \wcNtype{\Delta_c}{N}\ \texttt{in} \ \texttt{x}.\texttt{f} : \sigma(a)$ by the T-Field rule. $\Delta \vdash \wcNtype{\Delta_c}{N} <: \wcNtype{\Delta_c}{N}$ by S-Refl. $\Delta, \Delta_c \vdash \type{U}_i <: \sigma(\tv{a})$, because of the constraint $[\overline{\wtv{a}}/\ol{X}]\type{T} \lessdot \tv{a}$ and lemma \ref{lemma:unifySoundness}. $\textit{fields}(\sigma(\exptype{C}{\overline{\wtv{a}}})) = \sigma([\overline{\wtv{a}}/\ol{X}]\type{T})$ and $\text{fv}(\type{U}_i) \subseteq \text{fv}(\type{N})$ by definition of $\textit{fields}$. $\text{dom}(\Delta_c) \subseteq \text{fv}{\type{N}}$ by lemma \ref{lemma:tvsNoFV}. % X.List <.

S , then Unify generates a T ok S typeinference: T <: [S/Y]U We apply the following lemma Lemma if T ok and T <: S then S ok until T = [S/Y]U and then we can say by Lemma: If [S/Y]U ok then S ok (TODO: proof!) So we do not have to proof S ok (but T) % T_r <: C (S is in T) % Is C ok? % if every type environment \Delta supplied to Unify is ok (L <: U), then \sigma(a) = \Delta'.N implies \Delta' conforms to (L <: U) % this together with the X <.

If $\overline{\sigma(\tv{r}) = \wcNtype{\Delta}{N}}$ then \ref{sp:1} due to lemma \ref{lemma:unifyCC}.

The environments $\overline{\Delta}$ are not needed, because none of the variables in $\text{dom}(\overline{\Delta})$ are used in $\ol{T}$ or $\Delta, \Delta'$. \ref{sp:3} %TODO: S is not in \sigma.

We have to destinct between two cases: \item[Prepare] Given a $\wctype{\Delta_c}{C}{\ol{S}} \lessdot \wcNtype{\Delta''}{N}$ we get $\Delta, \Delta', \overline{\Delta} \vdash \exptype{C}{\ol{S}} <: \wcNtype{\Delta''}{N}$ with $\Delta_c \subseteq \overline{\Delta}$. $\text{fv}(\sigma'(\wctype{\Delta_c}{C}{\ol{S}})) = \emptyset$ implies $\text{fv}(\ol{S})\subseteq \text{dom}(\Delta, \Delta_c)$ and $\text{fv}(\sigma'(\wcNtype{\Delta''}{N})) = \emptyset$ implies $\text{dom}(\Delta_c) \cap \text{fv}(\sigma'(\wcNtype{\Delta''}{N})) = \emptyset$. No free variables on both sides also mean we do not need $\overline{\Delta}$. Therefore we can say $\Delta, \Delta' \vdash \wctype{\Delta_c}{C}{\ol{S}} <: \wcNtype{\Delta''}{N}$. \item[Capture] Everytime the \rulename{Capture} rule is invoked we add the freshly generated free variables to the global environment $\wildcardEnv$. We get a $\sigma'$ %and a $\Delta'$ with $\Delta, \Delta' \vdash \sigma'([\ol{\rwildcard{C}}/\ol{\rwildcard{B}}] \exptype{C}{\ol{S}}) <: \sigma'(\wctype{\Delta}{C}{\ol{T}})$ where $\sigma'(\ol{\wildcard{C}{U}{L}}) \subseteq \Delta'$ by assumption. \unify{} performs a capture conversion only on $\lessdotCC$ constraints. Therefore we can say that $\Delta, \Delta', \overline{\Delta} \vdash \sigma'(\exptype{C}{\ol{S}}) <: \sigma'(\wctype{\Delta}{C}{\ol{T}})$ with $\overline{\Delta}$ being all the fresh wildcards generated by \rulename{Capture}. \item[Reduce] %Assumption and S-Exists. % Three different cases of the constraint $\exptype{C}{\ol{S}} \lessdot \wctype{\overline{\wildcard{A}{\type{U}}{\type{L}}}}{C}{\ol{T}}$: % \begin{description} % \item[$\text{fv}(\exptype{C}{\ol{S}}) = \emptyset, \text{fv}(\wctype{\overline{\wildcard{A}{\type{U}}{\type{L}}}}{C}{\ol{T}})$:] % the preposition holds by Assumption and S-Exists. % \item[$\text{fv}(\wctype{\overline{\wildcard{A}{\type{U}}{\type{L}}}}{C}{\ol{T}}) = \emptyset$:] % then $\text{fv}(\exptype{C}{\ol{S}}) \subseteq \Delta'$ with $\Delta' = \overline{\wildcard{A}{\type{U}}{\type{L}}}$ % \item[$\text{fv}(\exptype{C}{\ol{S}}) = \emptyset$] $\Delta' = \emptyset$ % \end{description} % List <.
