Arithmetic and Boolean Expressions
These two definitions specify the abstract syntax of
arithmetic and boolean expressions.
Inductive aexp : Type :=
| ANum (n : nat)
| APlus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMinus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMult (a1 a2 : aexp).
Inductive bexp : Type :=
| BTrue
| BFalse
| BEq (a1 a2 : aexp)
| BLe (a1 a2 : aexp)
| BNot (b : bexp)
| BAnd (b1 b2 : bexp).
| ANum (n : nat)
| APlus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMinus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMult (a1 a2 : aexp).
Inductive bexp : Type :=

| BAnd (b1 b2 : bexp).
In this chapter, we'll mostly 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
For comparison, here's a conventional BNF (Backus-Naur Form)
grammar defining the same abstract syntax:
Compared to the Coq version above...
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.
APlus (ANum 1) (AMult (ANum 2) (ANum 3)).
The optional chapter ImpParser develops a simple 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 already taken a course where these techniques are
covered (e.g., a compilers course) you may want to skim it.
a ::= nat
| a + a
| a - a
| a * a
b ::= true
| false
| a = a
| a ≤ a
| ¬b
| b && b
| a + a
| a - a
| a * a
b ::= true
| false
| a = a
| a ≤ a
| ¬b
| b && b
- 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 with an infix
+) while leaving other aspects of lexical analysis and
parsing (like the relative precedence of +, -, and
*, the use of parens to group subexpressions, etc.)
unspecified. Some additional information — and human
intelligence — would be required to turn this description
into a formal definition, e.g., for implementing a compiler.
- Conversely, the BNF version is lighter and easier to read.
Its informality makes it flexible, a big advantage in
situations like discussions at the blackboard, where
conveying general ideas is more important than getting every
detail nailed down precisely.
Fixpoint aeval (a : aexp) : nat :=

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).
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.

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. For
example, here is an informal proof of the optimization theorem
that matches the structure of the formal one:
Theorem: For all arithmetic expressions a,
However, 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:
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.optimize_0plus (APlus a1 a2) = optimize_0plus a2and 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. ☐

The ; Tactical (General Form)
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.
T; [T' | T' | ... | T']
The repeat Tactical
The tactic repeat T 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.
Proof.
repeat (left; reflexivity).
repeat (right; try (left; reflexivity)).
Qed.
The tactic repeat T 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, since simpl always succeeds). While evaluation in Coq's
term language, Gallina, is guaranteed to terminate, tactic
evaluation is not! This does not affect Coq's logical
consistency, however, since the job of repeat and other tactics
is to guide Coq in constructing proofs; if the construction
process diverges (i.e., it does not terminate), this simply means
that we have failed to construct a proof, not that we have
constructed a wrong one.
Exercise: 3 stars, standard (optimize_0plus_b_sound)
Since the optimize_0plus transformation doesn't change the value of aexps, we should be able to apply it to all the aexps that appear in a bexp without changing the bexp's value. Write a function that performs this transformation on bexps and prove it is sound. Use the tacticals we've just seen to make the proof as elegant as possible.

Design exercise: The optimization implemented by our optimize_0plus function is only one of many possible optimizations on arithmetic and boolean expressions. Write a more sophisticated optimizer and prove it correct.

(* FILL IN HERE *)

Defining New Tactic Notations
- 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 built-in
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.
Tactic Notation "simpl_and_try" tactic(c) :=
simpl;
try 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. Now writing "simpl_and_try reflexivity."
in a proof will be the same as writing "simpl; try reflexivity."
The omega Tactic
- numeric constants, addition (+ and S), subtraction (-
and pred), and multiplication by constants (this is what
makes it Presburger arithmetic),
- equality (= and ≠) and ordering (≤), and
- the logical connectives ∧, ∨, ¬, and →,
Example silly_presburger_example : ∀m n o p,
m + n ≤ n + o ∧ o + 3 = p + 3 →
m ≤ p.
Proof.
intros. omega.
Qed.
m + n ≤ n + o ∧ o + 3 = p + 3 →
m ≤ p.
Proof.
intros. omega.
Qed.
(Note the From Coq Require Import omega.Omega. at the top of
the file.)
A Few More Handy Tactics
- clear H: Delete hypothesis H from the context.
- subst x: For a variable 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 (where x is a variable).
- 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 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.

Instead, we've chosen to leave the hypotheses anonymous, just
giving their types. This style gives us less control over the
names that Coq chooses during proofs involving aevalR, but it
makes the definition itself quite a bit lighter.
It will be convenient to have an infix notation for
aevalR. We'll write e \\ n to mean that arithmetic expression
e evaluates to value n.
Notation "e '\\' n"
:= (aevalR e n)
(at level 50, left associativity)
: type_scope.
End aevalR_first_try.
:= (aevalR e n)

In fact, Coq provides a way to use this notation in the
definition of aevalR itself. This reduces confusion by avoiding
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.

Exercise: 1 star, standard, optional (beval_rules)
Here, again, is the Coq definition of the beval function:
Fixpoint beval (e : bexp) : bool :=
match e with
| BTrue ⇒ true
| BFalse ⇒ false
| BEq a1 a2 ⇒ (aeval a1) =? (aeval a2)
| BLe a1 a2 ⇒ (aeval a1) <=? (aeval a2)
| BNot b1 ⇒ negb (beval b1)
| BAnd b1 b2 ⇒ andb (beval b1) (beval b2)
end.
Write out a corresponding definition of boolean evaluation as a
relation (in inference rule notation).

Computational vs. Relational Definitions
For example, suppose that we wanted to extend the arithmetic
operations with division:
Inductive aexp : Type :=
| ANum (n : nat)
| APlus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMinus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMult (a1 a2 : aexp)
| ADiv (a1 a2 : aexp). (* <--- NEW *)
| ANum (n : nat)
| APlus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMinus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMult (a1 a2 : aexp)
| ADiv (a1 a2 : aexp). (* <--- NEW *)
Extending the definition of aeval to handle this new operation
would not be straightforward (what should we return as the result
of ADiv (ANum 5) (ANum 0)?). But extending aevalR is
straightforward.
Reserved Notation "e '\\' n"
(at level 90, left associativity).

Or suppose that we want to extend the arithmetic operations by a
nondeterministic number generator any that, when evaluated, may
yield any number. (Note that this is not the same as making a
probabilistic choice among all possible numbers — we're not
specifying any particular probability distribution for the
results, just saying what results are possible.)

Again, extending aeval would be tricky, since now evaluation is
not a deterministic function from expressions to numbers, but
extending aevalR is no problem...

At this point you maybe wondering: which style should I use by
default? In the examples we've just seen, relational definitions
turned out to be more useful than functional ones. For situations
like these, where the thing being defined is not easy to express
as a function, or indeed where it is not a function, there is no
real choice. But what about when both styles are workable?
One point in favor of relational definitions is that they can be
more elegant and easier to understand.
Another is that Coq automatically generates nice inversion and
induction principles from Inductive definitions.
On the other hand, functional definitions can often be more
convenient:
Furthermore, functions can be directly "extracted" from Gallina to
executable code in OCaml or Haskell.
Ultimately, the choice often comes down to either the specifics of
a particular situation or simply a question of taste. Indeed, in
large Coq developments it is common to see a definition given in
both functional and relational styles, plus a lemma stating that
the two coincide, allowing further proofs to switch from one point
of view to the other at will.
- Functions are by definition deterministic and defined on all arguments; for a relation we have to show these properties explicitly if we need them.
- With functions we can also take advantage of Coq's computation mechanism to simplify expressions during proofs.
Expressions With Variables
States
Syntax
Inductive aexp : Type :=
| ANum (n : nat)
| AId (x : string) (* <--- NEW *)
| APlus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMinus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMult (a1 a2 : aexp).
| ANum (n : nat)
| AId (x : string) (* <--- NEW *)
| APlus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMinus (a1 a2 : aexp)
| AMult (a1 a2 : aexp).
Defining a few variable names as notational shorthands will make
examples easier to read:
Definition W : string := "W".
Definition X : string := "X".
Definition Y : string := "Y".
Definition Z : string := "Z".
Definition X : string := "X".
Definition Y : string := "Y".
Definition Z : string := "Z".
(This convention for naming program variables (X, Y,
Z) clashes a bit with our earlier use of uppercase letters for
types. Since we're not using polymorphism heavily in the chapters
developed to Imp, this overloading should not cause confusion.)
The definition of bexps is unchanged (except that it now refers
to the new aexps):
Inductive bexp : Type :=
| BTrue
| BFalse
| BEq (a1 a2 : aexp)
| BLe (a1 a2 : aexp)
| BNot (b : bexp)
| BAnd (b1 b2 : bexp).
| BTrue
| BFalse
| BEq (a1 a2 : aexp)
| BLe (a1 a2 : aexp)
| BNot (b : bexp)
| BAnd (b1 b2 : bexp).

We can now write 3 + (X * 2) instead of APlus 3 (AMult X 2),
and true && ~(X ≤ 4) instead of BAnd true (BNot (BLe X 4)).
One downside of these coercions is that they can make it a little
harder for humans to calculate the types of expressions. If you

We specialize our notation for total maps to the specific case of
states, i.e. using (_ !-> 0) as empty state.
Now we can add a notation for a "singleton state" with just one
variable bound to a value.
Notation "x '!->' v" := (t_update empty_st x v) (at level 100).
Example aexp1 :
aeval (X !-> 5) (3 + (X * 2))%imp
= 13.
Example bexp1 :
beval (X !-> 5) (true && ~(X ≤ 4))%imp
= true.

In a traditional functional programming language like OCaml or
Haskell we could add the WHILE case as follows:
Thus, because it doesn't terminate on all inputs,
of ceval_fun cannot be written in Coq — at least not without
additional tricks and workarounds (see chapter ImpCEvalFun
if you're curious about what those might be).
Fixpoint ceval_fun (st : state) (c : com) : state := match c with ... | WHILE b DO c END => if (beval st b) then ceval_fun st (c ;; WHILE b DO c END) else st end.Coq 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, it doesn't always terminate: for example, the full version of the ceval_fun function applied to the loop program above 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!) 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 (loop_false 0 would be a proof of False), which would be a disaster for Coq's logical consistency.

Reasoning About Imp Programs
Theorem plus2_spec : ∀st n st',
st X = n →
st =[ plus2 ]⇒ st' →
st' X = n + 2.
Proof.
intros st n st' HX Heval.
st X = n →
st =[ plus2 ]⇒ st' →
st' X = n + 2.
Proof.
intros st n st' HX Heval.
Inverting Heval essentially forces Coq to expand one step of
the ceval computation — in this case revealing that st'
must be st extended with the new value of X, since plus2
is an assignment.

Additional Exercises
Exercise: 3 stars, standard (stack_compiler)
Old HP Calculators, programming languages like Forth and Postscript, and abstract machines like the Java Virtual Machine all evaluate arithmetic expressions using a stack. For instance, the expression(2*3)+(3*(4-2))would be written as
2 3 * 3 4 2 - * +and evaluated like this (where we show the program being evaluated on the right and the contents of the stack on the left):
[ ] | 2 3 * 3 4 2 - * + [2] | 3 * 3 4 2 - * + [3, 2] | * 3 4 2 - * + [6] | 3 4 2 - * + [3, 6] | 4 2 - * + [4, 3, 6] | 2 - * + [2, 4, 3, 6] | - * + [2, 3, 6] | * + [6, 6] | + [12] |The goal of this exercise is to write a small compiler that translates aexps into stack machine instructions.
- SPush n: Push the number n on the stack.
- SLoad x: Load the identifier x from the store and push it on the stack
- SPlus: Pop the two top numbers from the stack, add them, and push the result onto the stack.
- SMinus: Similar, but subtract.
- SMult: Similar, but multiply.
Write a function to evaluate programs in the stack language. It
should take as input a state, a stack represented as a list of
numbers (top stack item is the head of the list), and a program
represented as a list of instructions, and it should return the
stack after executing the program. Test your function on the
examples below.
Note that the specification leaves unspecified what to do when
encountering an SPlus, SMinus, or SMult instruction if the
stack contains less than two elements. In a sense, it is
immaterial what we do, since our compiler will never emit such a
malformed program.

Next, write a function that compiles an aexp into a stack
machine program. The effect of running the program should be the
same as pushing the value of the expression on the stack.

that it works.

Exercise: 4 stars, advanced (stack_compiler_correct)
Now we'll prove the correctness of the compiler implemented in the previous exercise. Remember that the specification left unspecified what to do when encountering an SPlus, SMinus, or SMult instruction if the stack contains less than two elements. (In order to make your correctness proof easier you might find it helpful to go back and change your implementation!)

Exercise: 3 stars, standard, optional (short_circuit)
Most modern programming languages use a "short-circuit" evaluation rule for boolean and: to evaluate BAnd b1 b2, first evaluate b1. If it evaluates to false, then the entire BAnd expression evaluates to false immediately, without evaluating b2. Otherwise, b2 is evaluated to determine the result of the BAnd expression.

Exercise: 4 stars, advanced (break_imp)

Notation "'TEST' c1 'THEN' c2 'ELSE' c3 'FI'" :=

Next, we need to define the behavior of BREAK. Informally,
whenever BREAK is executed in a sequence of commands, it stops
the execution of that sequence and signals that the innermost
enclosing loop should terminate. (If there aren't any
enclosing loops, then the whole program simply terminates.) The
final state should be the same as the one in which the BREAK
statement was executed.
One important point is what to do when there are multiple loops
enclosing a given BREAK. In those cases, BREAK should only
terminate the innermost loop. Thus, after executing the
following...
One way of expressing this behavior is to add another parameter to
the evaluation relation that specifies whether evaluation of a
command executes a BREAK statement:
X ::= 0;;
Y ::= 1;;
WHILE ~(0 = Y) DO
WHILE true DO
BREAK
END;;
X ::= 1;;
Y ::= Y - 1
END
... the value of X should be 1, and not 0.
Y ::= 1;;
WHILE ~(0 = Y) DO
WHILE true DO
BREAK
END;;
X ::= 1;;
Y ::= Y - 1
END

| SContinue

Reserved Notation "st '=[' c ']⇒' st' '/' s"
(at level 40, st' at next level).
Intuitively, st =[ c ]⇒ st' / s means that, if c is started in
state st, then it terminates in state st' and either signals
that the innermost surrounding loop (or the whole program) should
exit immediately (s = SBreak) or that execution should continue
normally (s = SContinue).
The definition of the "st =[ c ]⇒ st' / s" relation is very
similar to the one we gave above for the regular evaluation
relation (st =[ c ]⇒ st') — we just need to handle the
termination signals appropriately:
Based on the above description, complete the definition of the
ceval relation.
- If the command is SKIP, then the state doesn't change and
execution of any enclosing loop can continue normally.
- If the command is BREAK, the state stays unchanged but we
signal a SBreak.
- If the command is an assignment, then we update the binding for
that variable in the state accordingly and signal that execution
can continue normally.
- If the command is of the form TEST b THEN c1 ELSE c2 FI, then
the state is updated as in the original semantics of Imp, except
that we also propagate the signal from the execution of
whichever branch was taken.
- If the command is a sequence c1 ;; c2, we first execute
c1. If this yields a SBreak, we skip the execution of c2
and propagate the SBreak signal to the surrounding context;
the resulting state is the same as the one obtained by
executing c1 alone. Otherwise, we execute c2 on the state
obtained after executing c1, and propagate the signal
generated there.
- Finally, for a loop of the form WHILE b DO c END, the semantics is almost the same as before. The only difference is that, when b evaluates to true, we execute c and check the signal that it raises. If that signal is SContinue, then the execution proceeds as in the original semantics. Otherwise, we stop the execution of the loop, and the resulting state is the same as the one resulting from the execution of the current iteration. In either case, since BREAK only terminates the innermost loop, WHILE signals SContinue.
