Here was our first try at an evaluation function for commands,
omitting while.
Fixpoint ceval_step1 (st : state) (c : com) : state :=
match c with
| <{ skip }> ⇒
st
| <{ l := a1 }> ⇒
(l !-> aeval st a1 ; st)
| <{ c1 ; c2 }> ⇒
let st' := ceval_step1 st c1 in
ceval_step1 st' c2
| <{ if b then c1 else c2 end }> ⇒
if (beval st b)
then ceval_step1 st c1
else ceval_step1 st c2
| <{ while b1 do c1 end }> ⇒
st (* bogus *)
end.
As we remarked in chapter Imp, in a traditional functional
programming language like ML or Haskell we could write the while
case as follows:
Thus, because it doesn't terminate on all inputs, the full version
of ceval_step1 cannot be written in Coq -- at least not without
one additional trick...
| while b1 do c1 end => if (beval st b1) then ceval_step1 st <{ c1; while b1 do c1 end }> else stCoq doesn't accept such a definition (Error: Cannot guess decreasing argument of fix) because the function we want to define is not guaranteed to terminate. Indeed, the changed ceval_step1 function applied to the loop program from Imp.v would never terminate. Since Coq is not just a functional programming language, but also a consistent logic, any potentially non-terminating function needs to be rejected. Here is an invalid(!) Coq program showing what would go wrong if Coq allowed non-terminating recursive functions:
Fixpoint loop_false (n : nat) : False := loop_false n.That is, propositions like False would become provable (e.g., loop_false 0 would be a proof of False), which would be a disaster for Coq's logical consistency.
A Step-Indexed Evaluator
Fixpoint ceval_step2 (st : state) (c : com) (i : nat) : state :=
match i with
| O ⇒ empty_st
| S i' ⇒
match c with
| <{ skip }> ⇒
st
| <{ l := a1 }> ⇒
(l !-> aeval st a1 ; st)
| <{ c1 ; c2 }> ⇒
let st' := ceval_step2 st c1 i' in
ceval_step2 st' c2 i'
| <{ if b then c1 else c2 end }> ⇒
if (beval st b)
then ceval_step2 st c1 i'
else ceval_step2 st c2 i'
| <{ while b1 do c1 end }> ⇒
if (beval st b1)
then let st' := ceval_step2 st c1 i' in
ceval_step2 st' c i'
else st
end
end.
Note: It is tempting to think that the index i here is
counting the "number of steps of evaluation." But if you look
closely you'll see that this is not the case: for example, in the
rule for sequencing, the same i is passed to both recursive
calls. Understanding the exact way that i is treated will be
important in the proof of ceval__ceval_step, which is given as
an exercise below.
One thing that is not so nice about this evaluator is that we
can't tell, from its result, whether it stopped because the
program terminated normally or because it ran out of gas. Our
next version returns an option state instead of just a state,
so that we can distinguish between normal and abnormal
termination.
Fixpoint ceval_step3 (st : state) (c : com) (i : nat)
: option state :=
match i with
| O ⇒ None
| S i' ⇒
match c with
| <{ skip }> ⇒
Some st
| <{ l := a1 }> ⇒
Some (l !-> aeval st a1 ; st)
| <{ c1 ; c2 }> ⇒
match (ceval_step3 st c1 i') with
| Some st' ⇒ ceval_step3 st' c2 i'
| None ⇒ None
end
| <{ if b then c1 else c2 end }> ⇒
if (beval st b)
then ceval_step3 st c1 i'
else ceval_step3 st c2 i'
| <{ while b1 do c1 end }> ⇒
if (beval st b1)
then match (ceval_step3 st c1 i') with
| Some st' ⇒ ceval_step3 st' c i'
| None ⇒ None
end
else Some st
end
end.
We can improve the readability of this version by introducing a
bit of auxiliary notation to hide the plumbing involved in
repeatedly matching against optional states.
Notation "'LETOPT' x <== e1 'IN' e2"
:= (match e1 with
| Some x ⇒ e2
| None ⇒ None
end)
(right associativity, at level 60).

: option state :=
match i with
| O ⇒ None
| S i' ⇒

| <{ skip }> ⇒

| <{ l := a1 }> ⇒
Some (l !-> aeval st a1 ; st)
