Regular tree expressions are a natural formalism for describing the sets of tree-structured values that commonly arise in programs; thus, they are well-suited to applications in program analysis. We describe an implementation of regular tree expressions and our experience with that implementation in the context of the FL type system. A combination of algorithms, optimizations, and fast heuristics for computationally difficult problems yields an implementation efficient enough for practical use.
