Abstract
An explicit type for a construct is not necessarily specified by a set of code. Where an explicit type is not specified for a particular construct, a compiler performs type inference for the particular construct. If the compiler infers a denotable type is associated with the construct, the compiler proceeds to perform quality checking for the particular construct by evaluating quality conditions with respect to the inferred denotable type. However, if the compiler determines that a non-denotable type is associated with the construct, then the compiler selects a target type determination process based on an attribute of the inferred non-denotable type associated with the particular construct. The compiler determines one or more target types using the selected target type determination process. The compiler performs quality checking for the particular construct by evaluating quality conditions with respect to the target types.
