These guarantees usually come at the cost of an intrinsically top-down approach, which requires the communication behaviour of the entire program to be specified as a global type. This paper introduces kmclib: an OCaml library that supports the development of correct message-passing programs without having to write any types. The library utilises the meta-programming facilities of OCaml to automatically infer the session types of concurrent programs and verify their compatibility (k-MC). Well-typed programs, written with kmclib, do not lead to communication errors and cannot get stuck.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.12147v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.12147v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"kmclib-automated-inference-and-verification","repo_url":"https://github.com/keigoi/kmclib","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
