AbstractWe present a new approach to providing a structural operational semantics for imperative programming languages with concurrency and procedures. The approach is novel because we expose the building block operations—variable assignment and condition checking—in the labels on the transitions; these form the context-dependent behaviour of a program. Using this style results in two main advantages over standard formalisms for imperative programming language semantics: firstly, our individual transition rules are more concise, and secondly, we are able to more abstractly and intuitively describe the semantics of procedures, including by-value and by-reference parameters. Standard techniques in the literature tend to result in complex and ...
