While: A Low-level Language





This section corresponds to Appendix A in [Saabas&Uustalu2007].

Our formalization of [Saabas&Uustalu2007] can be instantiated with any While-like language. In this section, we isolate more precisely what we expect from such a language.

Generic definition of then While Language and Hoare logic


Section Lang.

A state is a pair of a store and a mutable memory.

Variable store : Type.
Variable heap : Type.
Let state : Type := (store * heap)%type.

We are given one-step, non-branching instructions:
Variable cmd0 : Type.

One-step, non-branching instructions are given an appropriate operational semantics. We use an option type to model error-states.

Variable exec0 : option state -> cmd0 -> option state -> Prop.
Notation "s '--' c '---->' t" := (exec0 s c t) (at level 74 , no associativity) : lang_scope.
Local Open Scope lang_scope.

Structured commands (if-then-else's and while-loops) are parameterized by a type for boolean expressions.

Variable expr_b : Type.
Variable eval_b : expr_b -> state -> bool.

Using above types, we define the commands of While languages.

Inductive cmd : Type :=
| cmd_cmd0 : cmd0 -> cmd
| seq : cmd -> cmd -> cmd
| ifte : expr_b -> cmd -> cmd -> cmd
| while : expr_b -> cmd -> cmd.
Coercion cmd_cmd0 : cmd0 >-> cmd.
Notation "c ; d" := (seq c d) (at level 81, right associativity) : lang_scope.

We now define the operational semantics of While languages. Structured commands are given the textbook big-step operational semantics.

Reserved Notation "s -- c ---> t" (at level 74, no associativity).
Inductive exec : option state -> cmd -> option state -> Prop :=
| exec_none : forall c, None -- c ---> None
| exec_cmd0 : forall s c s', s -- c ----> s' -> s -- c ---> s'
| exec_seq : forall s s' s'' c d, s -- c ---> s' -> s' -- d ---> s'' -> s -- c ; d ---> s''
| exec_ifte_true : forall s s' t c d, eval_b t s -> Some s -- c ---> s' ->
  Some s -- ifte t c d ---> s'
| exec_ifte_false : forall s s' t c d, ~~ eval_b t s -> Some s -- d ---> s' ->
  Some s -- ifte t c d ---> s'
| exec_while_true : forall s s' s'' t c, eval_b t s -> Some s -- c ---> s' ->
  s' -- while t c ---> s'' -> Some s -- while t c ---> s''
| exec_while_false : forall s t c,
  ~~ eval_b t s -> Some s -- while t c ---> Some s
where "s -- c ---> t" := (exec s c t) : lang_scope.

We now come to the formalization of textbook Hoare logic. Actually, we allow for an extension of Hoare logic with a notion of pointer and mutable memory (or heap for short) known as Separation logic. Assertions are shallow-encoded.

Let assert := store -> heap -> Prop.

Definition TT : assert := fun _ _ => True.
Definition FF : assert := fun _ _ => False.
Definition And (P Q : assert) : assert := fun s h => P s h /\ Q s h.
Definition Or (P Q : assert) : assert := fun s h => P s h \/ Q s h.
Definition Not (P : assert) : assert := fun s h => ~ P s h.
Definition entails (P Q : assert) : Prop := forall s h, P s h -> Q s h.
Notation "P ===> Q" := (entails P Q) (at level 90, no associativity) : lang_scope.
Definition equiv (P Q : assert) : Prop := forall s h, P s h <-> Q s h.
Notation "P <==> Q" := (equiv P Q) (at level 90, no associativity) : lang_scope.

The axioms of Hoare logic are encoded as an inductive type, assuming given Hoare triples for one-step, non-branching instructions.

Variable hoare0 : assert -> cmd0 -> assert -> Prop.

Reserved Notation "{[ P ]} c {[ Q ]}" (at level 82, no associativity).
Inductive hoare : assert -> cmd -> assert -> Prop :=
| hoare_hoare0 : forall P Q c, hoare0 P c Q -> {[ P ]} c {[ Q ]}
| hoare_seq : forall P Q R c d, {[ P ]} c {[ Q ]} -> {[ Q ]} d {[ R ]} -> {[ P ]} c ; d {[ R ]}

  {[ P ]} while t c {[ fun s h => P s h /\ ~~ eval_b t (s, h) ]}
| hoare_ifte : forall P Q t c d, {[ fun s h => P s h /\ eval_b t (s, h) ]} c {[ Q ]} ->
  {[ fun s h => P s h /\ ~~ eval_b t (s, h) ]} d {[ Q ]} ->
  {[ P ]} ifte t c d {[ Q ]}
where "{[ P ]} c {[ Q ]}" := (hoare P c Q) : lang_scope.

Definition hoare_semantics (P : assert) (c : cmd) (Q : assert) : Prop :=
  forall s h, P s h -> ~ Some (s, h) -- c ---> None /\
    (forall s' h', Some (s, h) -- c ---> Some (s', h') -> Q s' h').

Definition wp_semantics (c : cmd) (Q : assert) : assert :=
  fun s h => ~ (Some (s, h) -- c ---> None) /\
    forall s' h', Some (s, h) -- c ---> Some (s', h') -> Q s' h'.

Reserved Notation "{{{[ P ]}}} c {{{[ Q ]}}}" (at level 82, no associativity).
Inductive hoare_total : assert -> cmd -> assert -> Prop :=
| hoaret_hoare0 : forall P Q c, hoare0 P c Q -> {{{[ P ]}}} c {{{[ Q ]}}}
| hoaret_seq : forall P Q R c d, {{{[ P ]}}} c {{{[ Q ]}}} -> {{{[ Q ]}}} d {{{[ R ]}}} -> {{{[ P ]}}} c ; d {{{[ R ]}}}

  A (R : A -> A -> Prop) (Rwf : well_founded R) (V : state -> A) a,
  (forall a, {{{[ fun s h => P s h /\ eval_b t (s, h) /\ V (s,h) = a ]}}}
    c {{{[ fun s h => P s h /\ R (V (s,h)) a ]}}}) ->
  {{{[ fun s h => P s h /\ V (s,h) = a ]}}}
    while t c {{{[ fun s h => P s h /\ ~~ eval_b t (s, h) ]}}}

  {{{[ fun s1 h => P s1 h /\ eval_b t (s1, h) ]}}} c {{{[ Q ]}}} ->
  {{{[ fun s1 h => P s1 h /\ ~~ eval_b t (s1, h) ]}}} d {{{[ Q ]}}} ->
  {{{[ P ]}}} ifte t c d {{{[ Q ]}}}
where "{{{[ P ]}}} c {{{[ Q ]}}}" := (hoare_total P c Q) : lang_scope.

Definition hoare_semantics_total (P : assert) (c : cmd) (Q : assert) : Prop :=
  forall s h, P s h ->
    exists s', exists h', Some (s, h) -- c ---> Some (s', h') /\ Q s' h'.

We then pack the generic Hoare logic above as a module:
