The region calculus of Tofte and Talpin is a well known example of a region based system, which uses regions to manage memory in a stack-like fashion. However, the region calculus is lexically scoped and requires explicit annotation of memory regions, which can be cumbersome for the programmer. Other systems have addressed non-lexical regions, but these approaches typically require the use of a substructural type system to track the lifetimes of regions.
