SLE 2017 paper:
Robust Programs with Filtered Iterators

Jiasi Shen, Martin C. Rinard

• DOI: 10.1145/3136014.3136030
• T1A: Design
  • It introduces a new language construct (filtered iterators) for robust input processing.
• T4D: Interpretation
  • Robust input processing is realised through runtime iteration/filtering behavior during execution.
• T5H: Usability
  • The construct is motivated by reducing common programmer errors and improving comprehensibility of input-handling code.
• T3D: GPLs
  • The contribution is framed as a construct for general-purpose programming languages rather than a narrow DSL.
