(** * Imp: Simple Imperative Programs *) (** In this chapter, we take a more serious look at how to use Coq as a tool to study other things. Our 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 Z <> 0 do Y := Y * Z; Z := Z - 1 end *) (** We concentrate here on defining the _syntax_ and _semantics_ of Imp; later, in _Programming Language Foundations_ (_Software Foundations_, volume 2), we develop a theory of _program equivalence_ and introduce _Hoare Logic_, a popular logic for reasoning about imperative programs. *) Set Warnings "-notation-overridden,-parsing,-deprecated-hint-without-locality".

(If the goal is _not_ of this form, [lia] will fail.) *) Example silly_presburger_example : forall m n o p, m + n <= n + o /\ o + 3 = p + 3 -> m <= p. Proof. intros. lia. Qed.

(* ================================================================= *) (** ** 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]: Given 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, solve the goal. - [contradiction]: Try to find a hypothesis [H] in the 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 examples of all of these as we go along. *) (* ################################################################# *) (** * Evaluation as a Relation *) (** We have presented [aeval] and [beval] as functions defined by [Fixpoint]s.

For instance, the coercion declaration for [AId] allows us to use plain strings when an [aexp] is expected; the string will implicitly be wrapped with [AId]. - [Declare Custom Entry com] tells Coq to create a new "custom grammar" for parsing Imp expressions and programs. The first notation declaration after this tells Coq that anything between [<{] and [}>] should be parsed using the Imp grammar.

(* ################################################################# *) (** * 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 [aexp]s into stack machine instructions. The instruction set for our stack language will consist of the following 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 the first number from the second. - [SMult]: Similar, but multiply. *) Inductive sinstr : Type := | SPush (n : nat) | SLoad (x : string) | SPlus | SMinus | SMult. (** 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 it is unspecified what to do when encountering an [SPlus], [SMinus], or [SMult] instruction if the stack contains fewer than two elements. In a sense, it is immaterial what we do, since a correct compiler will never emit such a malformed program. But for sake of later exercises, it would be best to skip the offending instruction and continue with the next one. *) Fixpoint s_execute (st : state) (stack : list nat) (prog : list sinstr) : list nat (* REPLACE THIS LINE WITH ":= _your_definition_ ." *).

Example s_execute2 : s_execute (X !-> 3) [3;4] [SPush 4; SLoad X; SMult; SPlus] = [15; 4]. (* FILL IN HERE *) Admitted. (** 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. *) Fixpoint s_compile (e : aexp) : list sinstr (* REPLACE THIS LINE WITH ":= _your_definition_ ." *). Admitted. (** After you've defined [s_compile], prove the following to test that it works. *) Example s_compile1 : s_compile <{ X - (2 * Y) }> = [SLoad X; SPush 2; SLoad Y; SMult; SMinus]. (* FILL IN HERE *) Admitted. (** [] *) (** **** Exercise: 3 stars, standard (execute_app) *) (** Execution can be decomposed in the following sense: executing stack program [p1 ++ p2] is the same as executing [p1], taking the resulting stack, and executing [p2] from that stack.
