Abstract: Build-time resolution and type-enforcing of corresponding references in different code that references the same value. In response to detecting a directive within the code itself that a first reference in first code is to be correlated with a second reference in second code, and in response to detection that the types of the references are the same, a code generation tool generates correlation code that is interpretable to a compiler as allowing a value of a type of the first reference of a compiled-form of the first code to be passed as the same value of the same type of the second reference of a compiled-form of the second code. The first code, the second code, and the generated correlation code may then be compiled. If compilation is successful, this means that the first and second references are already properly resolved as referring to the same value and type-enforced.
