(** * Imp: Simple Imperative Programs *)
(** In this chapter, we begin a new direction that will continue for
the rest of the course. Up to now most of our attention has been
focused on various aspects of Coq itself, while from now on we'll
mostly be using Coq to formalize other things. (We'll continue to
pause from time to time to introduce a few additional aspects of
Coq.)
Our first case study is a _simple imperative programming language_
called Imp, embodying a tiny core fragment of conventional
mainstream languages such as C and Java. Here is a familiar
mathematical function written in Imp.
Z ::= X;;
Y ::= 1;;
WHILE not (Z = 0) DO
Y ::= Y * Z;;
Z ::= Z - 1
END
*)
(** This chapter looks at how to define the _syntax_ and _semantics_
of Imp; the chapters that follow develop a theory of _program
equivalence_ and introduce _Hoare Logic_, a widely used logic for
reasoning about imperative programs. *)
Require Import Coq.Bool.Bool.
Require Import Coq.Arith.Arith.
Require Import Coq.Arith.EqNat.
Require Import Coq.omega.Omega.
Require Import Coq.Lists.List.
Import ListNotations.
Require Import Maps.
(* ################################################################# *)
(** * Arithmetic and Boolean Expressions *)
(** We'll present Imp in three parts: first a core language of
_arithmetic and boolean expressions_, then an extension of these
expressions with _variables_, and finally a language of _commands_
including assignment, conditions, sequencing, and loops. *)
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Syntax *)
Module AExp.
(** These two definitions specify the _abstract syntax_ of
arithmetic and boolean expressions. *)
Inductive aexp : Type :=
| ANum : nat -> aexp
| APlus : aexp -> aexp -> aexp
| AMinus : aexp -> aexp -> aexp
| AMult : aexp -> aexp -> aexp.
Inductive bexp : Type :=
| BTrue : bexp
| BFalse : bexp
| BEq : aexp -> aexp -> bexp
| BLe : aexp -> aexp -> bexp
| BNot : bexp -> bexp
| BAnd : bexp -> bexp -> bexp.
(** In this chapter, we'll elide the translation from the
concrete syntax that a programmer would actually write to these
abstract syntax trees -- the process that, for example, would
translate the string ["1+2*3"] to the AST [APlus (ANum
1) (AMult (ANum 2) (ANum 3))]. The optional chapter [ImpParser]
develops a simple implementation of a lexical analyzer and parser
that can perform this translation. You do _not_ need to
understand that chapter to understand this one, but if you haven't
taken a course where these techniques are covered (e.g., a
compilers course) you may want to skim it. *)
(** For comparison, here's a conventional BNF (Backus-Naur Form)
grammar defining the same abstract syntax:
a ::= nat
| a + a
| a - a
| a * a
b ::= true
| false
| a = a
| a <= a
| not b
| b and b
*)
(** Compared to the Coq version above...
- The BNF is more informal -- for example, it gives some
suggestions about the surface syntax of expressions (like the
fact that the addition operation is written [+] and is an
infix symbol) while leaving other aspects of lexical analysis
and parsing (like the relative precedence of [+], [-], and
[*], the use of parens to explicitly group subexpressions,
etc.) unspecified. Some additional information (and human
intelligence) would be required to turn this description into
a formal definition, for example when implementing a
compiler.
The Coq version consistently omits all this information and
concentrates on the abstract syntax only.
- On the other hand, the BNF version is lighter and easier to
read. Its informality makes it flexible, which is a huge
advantage in situations like discussions at the blackboard,
where conveying general ideas is more important than getting
every detail nailed down precisely.
Indeed, there are dozens of BNF-like notations and people
switch freely among them, usually without bothering to say
which form of BNF they're using because there is no need to:
a rough-and-ready informal understanding is all that's
important.
It's good to be comfortable with both sorts of notations:
informal ones for communicating between humans and formal ones for
carrying out implementations and proofs. *)
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Evaluation *)
(** _Evaluating_ an arithmetic expression produces a number. *)
Fixpoint aeval (a : aexp) : nat :=
match a with
| ANum n => n
| APlus a1 a2 => (aeval a1) + (aeval a2)
| AMinus a1 a2 => (aeval a1) - (aeval a2)
| AMult a1 a2 => (aeval a1) * (aeval a2)
end.
Example test_aeval1:
aeval (APlus (ANum 2) (ANum 2)) = 4.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
(** Similarly, evaluating a boolean expression yields a boolean. *)
Fixpoint beval (b : bexp) : bool :=
match b with
| BTrue => true
| BFalse => false
| BEq a1 a2 => beq_nat (aeval a1) (aeval a2)
| BLe a1 a2 => leb (aeval a1) (aeval a2)
| BNot b1 => negb (beval b1)
| BAnd b1 b2 => andb (beval b1) (beval b2)
end.
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Optimization *)
(** We haven't defined very much yet, but we can already get
some mileage out of the definitions. Suppose we define a function
that takes an arithmetic expression and slightly simplifies it,
changing every occurrence of [0+e] (i.e., [(APlus (ANum 0) e])
into just [e]. *)
Fixpoint optimize_0plus (a:aexp) : aexp :=
match a with
| ANum n =>
ANum n
| APlus (ANum 0) e2 =>
optimize_0plus e2
| APlus e1 e2 =>
APlus (optimize_0plus e1) (optimize_0plus e2)
| AMinus e1 e2 =>
AMinus (optimize_0plus e1) (optimize_0plus e2)
| AMult e1 e2 =>
AMult (optimize_0plus e1) (optimize_0plus e2)
end.
(** To make sure our optimization is doing the right thing we
can test it on some examples and see if the output looks OK. *)
Example test_optimize_0plus:
optimize_0plus (APlus (ANum 2)
(APlus (ANum 0)
(APlus (ANum 0) (ANum 1))))
= APlus (ANum 2) (ANum 1).
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
(** But if we want to be sure the optimization is correct --
i.e., that evaluating an optimized expression gives the same
result as the original -- we should prove it. *)
Theorem optimize_0plus_sound: forall a,
aeval (optimize_0plus a) = aeval a.
Proof.
intros a. induction a.
- (* ANum *) reflexivity.
- (* APlus *) destruct a1.
+ (* a1 = ANum n *) destruct n.
* (* n = 0 *) simpl. apply IHa2.
* (* n <> 0 *) simpl. rewrite IHa2. reflexivity.

(** * Coq Automation *)
(** The repetition in this last proof is starting to be a little
annoying. If either the language of arithmetic expressions or the
optimization being proved sound were significantly more complex,
it would begin to be a real problem.
So far, we've been doing all our proofs using just a small handful
of Coq's tactics and completely ignoring its powerful facilities
for constructing parts of proofs automatically. This section
introduces some of these facilities, and we will see more over the
next several chapters. Getting used to them will take some
energy -- Coq's automation is a power tool -- but it will allow us
to scale up our efforts to more complex definitions and more
interesting properties without becoming overwhelmed by boring,
repetitive, low-level details. *)

(** ** Tacticals *)
(** _Tacticals_ is Coq's term for tactics that take other tactics as
arguments -- "higher-order tactics," if you will. *)
(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** The [try] Tactical *)
(** If [T] is a tactic, then [try T] is a tactic that is just like [T]
except that, if [T] fails, [try T] _successfully_ does nothing at
all (instead of failing). *)
Theorem silly1 : forall ae, aeval ae = aeval ae.
Proof. try reflexivity. (* this just does [reflexivity] *) Qed.
Theorem silly2 : forall (P : Prop), P -> P.
Proof.
intros P HP.
try reflexivity. (* just [reflexivity] would have failed *)
apply HP. (* we can still finish the proof in some other way *)
Qed.
(** There is no real reason to use [try] in completely manual
proofs like these, but we'll see below that it is very useful for
doing automated proofs in conjunction with the [;] tactical. *)
(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** The [;] Tactical (Simple Form) *)
(** In its most common form, the [;] tactical takes two tactics as
arguments. The compound tactic [T;T'] first performs [T] and then
performs [T'] on _each subgoal_ generated by [T]. *)
(** For example, consider the following trivial lemma: *)
Lemma foo : forall n, leb 0 n = true.
Proof.
intros.
destruct n.
(* Leaves two subgoals, which are discharged
identically... *)
- (* n=0 *) simpl. reflexivity.
- (* n=Sn' *) simpl. reflexivity.
Qed.
(** We can simplify this proof using the [;] tactical: *)
Lemma foo' : forall n, leb 0 n = true.
Proof.
intros.
(* [destruct] the current goal *)
destruct n;
(* then [simpl] each resulting subgoal *)
simpl;
(* and do [reflexivity] on each resulting subgoal *)
reflexivity.
Qed.
(** Using [try] and [;] together, we can get rid of the repetition in
the proof that was bothering us a little while ago. *)
Theorem optimize_0plus_sound': forall a,
aeval (optimize_0plus a) = aeval a.
Proof.
intros a.
induction a;
(* Most cases follow directly by the IH... *)
try (simpl; rewrite IHa1; rewrite IHa2; reflexivity).
(* ... but the remaining cases -- ANum and APlus --
are different: *)
- (* ANum *) reflexivity.
- (* APlus *)
destruct a1;
(* Again, most cases follow directly by the IH: *)
try (simpl; simpl in IHa1; rewrite IHa1;
rewrite IHa2; reflexivity).
(* The interesting case, on which the [try...]
does nothing, is when [e1 = ANum n]. In this
case, we have to destruct [n] (to see whether
the optimization applies) and rewrite with the
induction hypothesis. *)
+ (* a1 = ANum n *) destruct n;
simpl; rewrite IHa2; reflexivity. Qed.
(** Coq experts often use this "[...; try... ]" idiom after a tactic
like [induction] to take care of many similar cases all at once.
Naturally, this practice has an analog in informal proofs.
Here is an informal proof of this theorem that matches the
structure of the formal one:
_Theorem_: For all arithmetic expressions [a],
aeval (optimize_0plus a) = aeval a.
_Proof_: By induction on [a]. Most cases follow directly from the IH.
The remaining cases are as follows:
- Suppose [a = ANum n] for some [n]. We must show
aeval (optimize_0plus (ANum n)) = aeval (ANum n).
This is immediate from the definition of [optimize_0plus].
- Suppose [a = APlus a1 a2] for some [a1] and [a2]. We
must show
aeval (optimize_0plus (APlus a1 a2))
= aeval (APlus a1 a2).
Consider the possible forms of [a1]. For most of them,
[optimize_0plus] simply calls itself recursively for the
subexpressions and rebuilds a new expression of the same form
as [a1]; in these cases, the result follows directly from the
IH.
The interesting case is when [a1 = ANum n] for some [n].
If [n = ANum 0], then
optimize_0plus (APlus a1 a2) = optimize_0plus a2
and the IH for [a2] is exactly what we need. On the other
hand, if [n = S n'] for some [n'], then again [optimize_0plus]
simply calls itself recursively, and the result follows from
the IH. [] *)
(** This proof can still be improved: the first case (for [a = ANum
n]) is very trivial -- even more trivial than the cases that we
said simply followed from the IH -- yet we have chosen to write it
out in full. It would be better and clearer to drop it and just
say, at the top, "Most cases are either immediate or direct from
the IH. The only interesting case is the one for [APlus]..." We
can make the same improvement in our formal proof too. Here's how
it looks: *)
Theorem optimize_0plus_sound'': forall a,
aeval (optimize_0plus a) = aeval a.
Proof.
intros a.
induction a;
(* Most cases follow directly by the IH *)
try (simpl; rewrite IHa1; rewrite IHa2; reflexivity);
(* ... or are immediate by definition *)
try reflexivity.
(* The interesting case is when a = APlus a1 a2. *)
- (* APlus *)
destruct a1; try (simpl; simpl in IHa1; rewrite IHa1;
rewrite IHa2; reflexivity).
+ (* a1 = ANum n *) destruct n;
simpl; rewrite IHa2; reflexivity. Qed.
(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** The [;] Tactical (General Form) *)
(** The [;] tactical also has a more general form than the simple
[T;T'] we've seen above. If [T], [T1], ..., [Tn] are tactics,
then
T; [T1 | T2 | ... | Tn]
is a tactic that first performs [T] and then performs [T1] on the
first subgoal generated by [T], performs [T2] on the second
subgoal, etc.
So [T;T'] is just special notation for the case when all of the
[Ti]'s are the same tactic -- i.e., [T;T'] is shorthand for:
T; [T' | T' | ... | T']
*)
(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** The [repeat] Tactical *)
(** The [repeat] tactical takes another tactic and keeps applying this
tactic until it fails. Here is an example showing that [10] is in
a long list using repeat. *)
Theorem In10 : In 10 [1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10].
Proof.
repeat (try (left; reflexivity); right).
Qed.
(* Print In10. *)
(** The [repeat T] tactic never fails: if the tactic [T] doesn't apply
to the original goal, then repeat still succeeds without changing
the original goal (i.e., it repeats zero times). *)
Theorem In10' : In 10 [1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10].
Proof.
repeat (left; reflexivity).
repeat (right; try (left; reflexivity)).
Qed.
(** The [repeat T] tactic also does not have any upper bound on the
number of times it applies [T]. If [T] is a tactic that always
succeeds, then repeat [T] will loop forever (e.g., [repeat simpl]
loops forever, since [simpl] always succeeds). While Coq's term
language is guaranteed to terminate, Coq's tactic language is
not! *)
(** **** Exercise: 3 stars (optimize_0plus_b) *)
(** Since the [optimize_0plus] transformation doesn't change the value
of [aexp]s, we should be able to apply it to all the [aexp]s that
appear in a [bexp] without changing the [bexp]'s value. Write a
function which performs that transformation on [bexp]s, and prove
it is sound. Use the tacticals we've just seen to make the proof
as elegant as possible. *)
Fixpoint optimize_0plus_b (b : bexp) : bexp :=
match b with

[optimize_0plus] function is only one of many possible
optimizations on arithmetic and boolean expressions. Write a more

(** ** Defining New Tactic Notations *)
(** Coq also provides several ways of "programming" tactic scripts.
- The [Tactic Notation] idiom illustrated below gives a handy way to
define "shorthand tactics" that bundle several tactics into a
single command.
- For more sophisticated programming, Coq offers a small built-in
programming language called [Ltac] with primitives that can
examine and modify the proof state. The details are a bit too
complicated to get into here (and it is generally agreed that
[Ltac] is not the most beautiful part of Coq's design!), but they
can be found in the reference manual and other books on Coq, and
there are many examples of [Ltac] definitions in the Coq standard
library that you can use as examples.
- There is also an OCaml API, which can be used to build tactics
that access Coq's internal structures at a lower level, but this
is seldom worth the trouble for ordinary Coq users.
The [Tactic Notation] mechanism is the easiest to come to grips with,
and it offers plenty of power for many purposes. Here's an example. *)
Tactic Notation "simpl_and_try" tactic(c) :=
simpl;
try c.
(** This defines a new tactical called [simpl_and_try] that takes one
tactic [c] as an argument and is defined to be equivalent to the
tactic [simpl; try c]. For example, writing "[simpl_and_try
reflexivity.]" in a proof would be the same as writing "[simpl;
try reflexivity.]" *)
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** The [omega] Tactic *)
(** The [omega] tactic implements a decision procedure for a subset of
first-order logic called _Presburger arithmetic_. It is based on
the Omega algorithm invented in 1991 by William Pugh [Pugh 1991].
If the goal is a universally quantified formula made out of
- numeric constants, addition ([+] and [S]), subtraction ([-]
and [pred]), and multiplication by constants (this is what
makes it Presburger arithmetic),
- equality ([=] and [<>]) and inequality ([<=]), and
- the logical connectives [/\], [\/], [~], and [->],
then invoking [omega] will either solve the goal or tell you that
it is actually false. *)
Require Import Coq.omega.Omega.
Example silly_presburger_example : forall m n o p,
m + n <= n + o /\ o + 3 = p + 3 ->
m <= p.
Proof.
intros. omega.
Qed.
(** Leibniz wrote, "It is unworthy of excellent men to lose
hours like slaves in the labor of calculation which could be
relegated to anyone else if machines were used." We recommend
that excellent people of all genders use the omega tactic whenever
possible. *)
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** A Few More Handy Tactics *)
(** Finally, here are some miscellaneous tactics that you may find
convenient.
- [clear H]: Delete hypothesis [H] from the context.
- [subst x]: Find an assumption [x = e] or [e = x] in the
context, replace [x] with [e] throughout the context and
current goal, and clear the assumption.
- [subst]: Substitute away _all_ assumptions of the form [x = e]
or [e = x].
- [rename... into...]: Change the name of a hypothesis in the
proof context. For example, if the context includes a variable
named [x], then [rename x into y] will change all occurrences
of [x] to [y].
- [assumption]: Try to find a hypothesis [H] in the context that
exactly matches the goal; if one is found, behave just like
[apply H].
- [contradiction]: Try to find a hypothesis [H] in the current
context that is logically equivalent to [False]. If one is
found, solve the goal.
- [constructor]: Try to find a constructor [c] (from some
[Inductive] definition in the current environment) that can be
applied to solve the current goal. If one is found, behave
like [apply c].
We'll see many examples of these in the proofs below. *)
(* ################################################################# *)
(** * Evaluation as a Relation *)
(** We have presented [aeval] and [beval] as functions defined by
[Fixpoint]s. Another way to think about evaluation -- one that we
will see is often more flexible -- is as a _relation_ between
expressions and their values. This leads naturally to [Inductive]
definitions like the following one for arithmetic expressions... *)
Module aevalR_first_try.
Inductive aevalR : aexp -> nat -> Prop :=
| E_ANum : forall (n: nat),
aevalR (ANum n) n
| E_APlus : forall (e1 e2: aexp) (n1 n2: nat),
aevalR e1 n1 ->
aevalR e2 n2 ->
aevalR (APlus e1 e2) (n1 + n2)
| E_AMinus: forall (e1 e2: aexp) (n1 n2: nat),
aevalR e1 n1 ->

aevalR e1 n1 ->
aevalR e2 n2 ->
aevalR (AMult e1 e2) (n1 * n2).
(** As is often the case with relations, we'll find it
convenient to define infix notation for [aevalR]. We'll write [e
\\ n] to mean that arithmetic expression [e] evaluates to value
[n]. (This notation is one place where the limitation to ASCII
symbols becomes a little bothersome. The standard notation for
the evaluation relation is a double down-arrow. We'll typeset it
like this in the HTML version of the notes and use a double slash
as the closest approximation in [.v] files.) *)
Notation "e '\\' n"
:= (aevalR e n)
(at level 50, left associativity)
: type_scope.
End aevalR_first_try.
(** In fact, Coq provides a way to use this notation in the definition
of [aevalR] itself. This avoids situations where we're working on
a proof involving statements in the form [e \\ n] but we have to
refer back to a definition written using the form [aevalR e n].
We do this by first "reserving" the notation, then giving the
definition together with a declaration of what the notation
means. *)

where "e '\\' n" := (aevalR e n) : type_scope.
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Inference Rule Notation *)
(** In informal discussions, it is convenient to write the rules for
[aevalR] and similar relations in the more readable graphical form
of _inference rules_, where the premises above the line justify
the conclusion below the line (we have already seen them in the
Prop chapter). *)
(** For example, the constructor [E_APlus]...
| E_APlus : forall (e1 e2: aexp) (n1 n2: nat),
aevalR e1 n1 ->
aevalR e2 n2 ->
aevalR (APlus e1 e2) (n1 + n2)
...would be written like this as an inference rule:
e1 \\ n1
e2 \\ n2
-------------------- (E_APlus)
APlus e1 e2 \\ n1+n2
*)
(** Formally, there is nothing deep about inference rules: they
are just implications. You can read the rule name on the right as
the name of the constructor and read each of the linebreaks
between the premises above the line and the line itself as [->].
All the variables mentioned in the rule ([e1], [n1], etc.) are
implicitly bound by universal quantifiers at the beginning. (Such
variables are often called _metavariables_ to distinguish them
from the variables of the language we are defining. At the
moment, our arithmetic expressions don't include variables, but
we'll soon be adding them.) The whole collection of rules is
understood as being wrapped in an [Inductive] declaration. In
informal prose, this is either elided or else indicated by saying
something like "Let [aevalR] be the smallest relation closed under
the following rules...". *)
(** For example, [\\] is the smallest relation closed under these
rules:
----------- (E_ANum)
ANum n \\ n
e1 \\ n1
e2 \\ n2
-------------------- (E_APlus)
APlus e1 e2 \\ n1+n2
e1 \\ n1

(** ** Computational vs. Relational Definitions *)
(** For the definitions of evaluation for arithmetic and boolean
expressions, the choice of whether to use functional or relational
definitions is mainly a matter of taste. In general, Coq has
somewhat better support for working with relations. On the other
hand, in some sense function definitions carry more information,
because functions are by definition deterministic and defined on
all arguments; for a relation we have to show these properties
explicitly if we need them. Functions also take advantage of
Coq's computation mechanism.
However, there are circumstances where relational definitions of
evaluation are preferable to functional ones. *)

mention a finite number of them. The state captures all of the

mapping from identifiers to [nat]. For more complex programming

(** * Commands *)
(** Now we are ready define the syntax and behavior of Imp
_commands_ (sometimes called _statements_). *)
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Syntax *)
(** Informally, commands [c] are described by the following BNF
grammar. (We choose this slightly awkward concrete syntax for the
sake of being able to define Imp syntax using Coq's Notation
mechanism. In particular, we use [IFB] to avoid conflicting with
the [if] notation from the standard library.)
c ::= SKIP | x ::= a | c ;; c | IFB b THEN c ELSE c FI
| WHILE b DO c END
