Description Type inference is generally thought of as being an exclusive property ofthe functional programming paradigm. We argue that such a feature may beof significant benefit for also standard imperative languages. We present aworking tool (available by WWW) providing these benefits for a full versionof Turbo Pascal. It has the form of a preprocessor that analyzes programsin which the type annotations are only partial or even absent. The resultingprogram has full type annotations, will be accepted by the standard TurboPascal compiler, and has polymorphic use of procedures resolved by meansof code expansion.Keywords: imperative languages, type inference.
