(** * Types: Type Systems *)
(* $Date: 2011-06-03 13:58:55 -0400 (Fri, 03 Jun 2011) $ *)
Require Export Smallstep.
(** Our next topic, a large one, is _type systems_ -- static program
analyses that classify expressions according to the "shapes" of
their results. We'll begin with a typed version of a very simple
language with just booleans and numbers, to introduce the basic
ideas of types, typing rules, and the fundamental theorems about
type systems: _type preservation_ and _progress_. Then we'll move
on to the _simply typed lambda-calculus_, which lives at the core
of every modern functional programming language (including
Coq). *)
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** * More Automation *)
(** Before we start, let's spend a little time learning to use
some of Coq's more powerful automation features... *)
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** ** The [auto] and [eauto] Tactics *)
(** The [auto] tactic solves goals that are solvable by any combination of
- [intros],
- [apply] (with a local hypothesis, by default), and
- [reflexivity].
The [eauto] tactic works just like [auto], except that it uses
[eapply] instead of [apply]. *)
(** Using [auto] is always "safe" in the sense that it will never fail
and will never change the proof state: either it completely solves
the current goal, or it does nothing.
Here is a contrived example: *)
Lemma auto_example_1 : forall P Q R S T U : Prop,
(P -> Q) ->
(P -> R) ->
(T -> R) ->
(S -> T -> U) ->
((P->Q) -> (P->S)) ->
T ->
P ->
U.
Proof. auto. Qed.
(** When searching for potential proofs of the current goal, [auto]
and [eauto] consider the hypotheses in the current context
together with a _hint database_ of other lemmas and constructors.
Some of the lemmas and constructors we've already seen -- e.g.,
[conj], [or_introl], and [or_intror] -- are installed in this hint
database by default. *)
Lemma auto_example_2 : forall P Q R : Prop,
Q ->
(Q -> R) ->
P \/ (Q /\ R).
Proof.
auto. Qed.
(** We can extend the hint database just for the purposes of one
application of [auto] or [eauto] by writing [auto using ...].
E.g., if [conj], [or_introl], and [or_intror] had _not_ already
been in the hint database, we could have done this instead: *)
Lemma auto_example_2a : forall P Q R : Prop,
Q ->
(Q -> R) ->
P \/ (Q /\ R).
Proof.
auto using conj, or_introl, or_intror. Qed.
(** Of course, in any given development there will also be some of our
own specific constructors and lemmas that are used very often in
proofs. We can add these to the global hint database by writing
[[
Hint Resolve l.
]]
at the top level, where [l] is a top-level lemma theorem or a
constructor of an inductively defined proposition (i.e., anything
whose type is an implication). As a shorthand, we can write
[[
Hint Constructors c.
]]
to tell Coq to do a [Hint Resolve] for _all_ of the constructors
from the inductive definition of [c].
It is also sometimes necessary to add
[[
Hint Unfold d.
]]
where [d] is a defined symbol, so that [auto] knows to expand
uses of [d] and enable further possibilities for applying
lemmas that it knows about. *)
(** Here are some [Hint]s we will find useful. *)
Hint Constructors refl_step_closure.
Hint Resolve beq_id_eq beq_id_false_not_eq.
(** Warning: Just as with Coq's other automation facilities, it is
easy to overuse [auto] and [eauto] and wind up with proofs that
are impossible to understand later!
Also, overuse of [eauto] can make proof scripts very slow. Get in
the habit of using [auto] most of the time and [eauto] only when
necessary.
For much more detailed information about using [auto] and [eauto],
see the chapter [UseAuto.v]. *)
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** ** The [Proof with] Tactic *)
(** If you start a proof by saying [Proof with (tactic)] instead of
just [Proof], then writing [...] instead of [.] after a tactic in
the body of the proof will try to solve all generated subgoals
with [tactic] (and fail if this doesn't work).
One common use of this facility is "[Proof with auto]" (or
[eauto]). We'll see many examples of this later in the file. *)
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** ** The [solve by inversion] Tactic *)
(** Here's another nice automation feature: it often arises that the
context contains a contradictory assumption and we want to use
[inversion] on it to solve the goal. We'd like to be able to say
to Coq, "find a contradictory assumption and invert it" without
giving its name explicitly.
Doing [solve by inversion] will find a hypothesis that can be
inverted to solve the goal, if there is one. The tactics [solve
by inversion 2] and [solve by inversion 3] are slightly fancier
versions which will perform two or three inversions in a row, if
necessary, to solve the goal.
(These tactics are not actually built into Coq -- their
definitions are in [Sflib.v].)
Caution: Overuse of [solve by inversion] can lead to slow proof
scripts. *)
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** ** The [try solve] Tactic *)
(** If [t] is a tactic, then [try solve [t]] is a tactic that
- if [t] solves the goal, behaves just like [t], or
- if [t] cannot completely solve the goal, does
nothing.
More generally, [try solve [t1 | t2 | ...]] will try to solve the
goal by using [t1], [t2], etc. If none of them succeeds in
completely solving the goal, then [try solve [t1 | t2 | ...]] does
nothing.
The fact that it does nothing when it doesn't completely succeed
in solving the goal means that there is no harm in using [try
solve T] in situations where [T] might actually make no sense. In
particular, if we put it after a [;] it will solve as many
subgoals as it can and leave the rest for us to solve by other
methods. It will not leave any of the subgoals in a partially
solved state. *)
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** ** The [f_equal] Tactic *)
(** This handy tactic replaces a goal of the form [f x1 x2 ... xn = f
y1 y2 ... yn], where [f] is some function, with the subgoals [x1 =
y1], [x2 = y2],...,[xn = yn]. It is useful for avoiding explicit
rewriting steps, and often the generated subgoals can be quickly
cleared by [auto]. *)
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** ** The [normalize] Tactic *)
(** When experimenting with definitions of programming languages in
Coq, we often want to see what a particular concrete term steps
to -- i.e., we want to find proofs for goals of the form [t ==>*
t'], where [t] is a completely concrete term and [t'] is unknown.
These proofs are simple but repetitive to do by hand. Consider for
example reducing an arithmetic expression using the small-step
relation [astep] defined in the previous chapter: *)
Definition astep_many st := refl_step_closure (astep st).
Notation " t '/' st '==>a*' t' " := (astep_many st t t')
(at level 40, st at level 39).
Example astep_example1 :
(APlus (ANum 3) (AMult (ANum 3) (ANum 4))) / empty_state
==>a* (ANum 15).
Proof.
apply rsc_step with (APlus (ANum 3) (ANum 12)).
apply AS_Plus2.
apply av_num.
apply AS_Mult.
apply rsc_step with (ANum 15).
apply AS_Plus.
apply rsc_refl.
Qed.
(** We repeatedly applied [rsc_step] until we got to a normal
form. The proofs that the intermediate steps are possible are
simple enough that [auto], with appropriate hints, can solve
them. *)
Hint Constructors astep aval.
Example astep_example1' :
(APlus (ANum 3) (AMult (ANum 3) (ANum 4))) / empty_state
==>a* (ANum 15).
Proof.
eapply rsc_step. auto. simpl.
eapply rsc_step. auto. simpl.
apply rsc_refl.
Qed.
(** The following custom [Tactic Notation] definition captures this
pattern. In addition, before each [rsc_step] we print out the
current goal, so that the user can follow how the term is being
evaluated. *)
Tactic Notation "print_goal" := match goal with |- ?x => idtac x end.
Tactic Notation "normalize" :=
repeat (print_goal; eapply rsc_step ;
[ (eauto 10; fail) | (instantiate; simpl)]);
apply rsc_refl.
Example astep_example1'' :
(APlus (ANum 3) (AMult (ANum 3) (ANum 4))) / empty_state
==>a* (ANum 15).
Proof.
normalize.
(* At this point in the proof script, the Coq response shows
a trace of how the expression evaluated. *)
Qed.
(** Finally, this is also useful as a simple way to calculate what the normal
form of a term is, by proving a goal with an existential variable in it. *)
Example astep_example1''' : exists e',
(APlus (ANum 3) (AMult (ANum 3) (ANum 4))) / empty_state
==>a* e'.
Proof.
eapply ex_intro. normalize.
Qed.
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** * Typed Arithmetic Expressions *)
(** To motivate the discussion of type systems, let's begin as usual
with an extremely simple toy language. We want it to have the
potential for programs "going wrong" because of runtime type
errors, so we need something a tiny bit more complex than the
language of constants and addition that we used in [Smallstep.v]:
a single kind of data (just numbers) is too simple, but just two
kinds (numbers and booleans) already gives us enough material to
tell an interesting story.
The language definition is completely routine. The only thing to
notice is that we are _not_ using the [asnum]/[aslist] trick that
we used in [ImpList.v] to make all the operations total by
forcibly coercing the arguments to [+] (for example) into numbers.
Instead, we simply let terms get stuck if they try to use an
operator with the wrong kind of operands: the [step] relation
doesn't relate them to anything. *)

(** Notice that the [step] relation doesn't care about whether
expressions make global sense -- it just checks that the operation
in the _next_ reduction step is being applied to the right kinds
of operands. For example, the term [tm_succ tm_true] cannot take
a step, but the almost-as-obviously-nonsensical term
[[
tm_succ (tm_if tm_true tm_true tm_true)

(** ** Normal Forms and Values *)
(** The first interesting thing about the [step] relation in this
language is that the strong progress theorem from the Smallstep
chapter fails! That is, there are terms that are normal
forms (they can't take a step) but not values (because we have not
included them in our definition of possible "results of
evaluation"). Such terms are _stuck_. *)

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, optional (value_is_nf) *)
(** Hint: You will reach a point in this proof where you need to
use an induction to reason about a term that is known to be a
numeric value. This induction can be performed either over the
term itself or over the evidence that it is a numeric value. The
proof goes through in either case, but you will find that one way
is quite a bit shorter than the other. For the sake of the
exercise, try to complete the proof both ways. *)

(** ** Typing *)
(** The next critical observation about this language is that,
although there are stuck terms, they are all "nonsensical", mixing
booleans and numbers in a way that we don't even _want_ to have a
meaning. We can easily exclude such ill-typed terms by defining a
_typing relation_ that relates terms to the types (either numeric
or boolean) of their final results. *)

"turnstile". (Below, we're going to see richer typing relations
where an additional "context" argument is written to the left of
the turnstile. Here, the context is always empty.)

(** The typing relation enjoys two critical properties. The first is
that well-typed normal forms are values (i.e., not stuck). *)
(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, recommended (finish_progress_informal) *)
(** Complete the following proof: *)
(** _Theorem_: If [|- t : T], then either [t] is a value or else
[t ==> t'] for some [t'].
_Proof_: By induction on a derivation of [|- t : T].
- If the last rule in the derivation is [T_If], then [t = if t1
then t2 else t3], with [|- t1 : Bool], [|- t2 : T] and [|- t3
: T]. By the IH, either [t1] is a value or else [t1] can step
to some [t1'].
- If [t1] is a value, then it is either an [nvalue] or a
[bvalue]. But it cannot be an [nvalue], because we know
[|- t1 : Bool] and there are no rules assigning type
[Bool] to any term that could be an [nvalue]. So [t1]
is a [bvalue] -- i.e., it is either [true] or [false].
If [t1 = true], then [t] steps to [t2] by [ST_IfTrue],
while if [t1 = false], then [t] steps to [t3] by
[ST_IfFalse]. Either way, [t] can step, which is what
we wanted to show.
- If [t1] itself can take a step, then, by [ST_If], so can
[t].

(** ** Type Preservation *)
(** The second critical property of typing is that, when a well-typed
term takes a step, the result is also a well-typed term.
This theorem is often called the _subject reduction_ property,
because it tells us what happens when the "subject" of the typing
relation is reduced. This terminology comes from thinking of
typing statements as sentences, where the term is the subject and
the type is the predicate. *)
(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, recommended (finish_preservation_informal) *)
(** Complete the following proof: *)
(** _Theorem_: If [|- t : T] and [t ==> t'], then [|- t' : T].
_Proof_: By induction on a derivation of [|- t : T].
- If the last rule in the derivation is [T_If], then [t = if t1
then t2 else t3], with [|- t1 : Bool], [|- t2 : T] and [|- t3
: T].
Inspecting the rules for the small-step reduction relation and
remembering that [t] has the form [if ...], we see that the
only ones that could have been used to prove [t ==> t'] are
[ST_IfTrue], [ST_IfFalse], or [ST_If].
- If the last rule was [ST_IfTrue], then [t' = t2]. But we
know that [|- t2 : T], so we are done.
- If the last rule was [ST_IfFalse], then [t' = t3]. But we
know that [|- t3 : T], so we are done.
- If the last rule was [ST_If], then [t' = if t1' then t2
else t3], where [t1 ==> t1']. We know [|- t1 : Bool] so,
by the IH, [|- t1' : Bool]. The [T_If] rule then gives us
[|- if t1' then t2 else t3 : T], as required.

[Fixpoint] language, and the simply typed lambda-calculus, which
we'll be looking at next) where all _well-typed_ terms can be
