Hint Constructors multi.

(** Our next major topic 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). *)

(** * 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 chapter
    [Smallstep]: 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 chapter [HoareList] 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. *)

Hint Constructors step.
(** 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 [succ true] (i.e., [tsucc ttrue] in the
    formal syntax) cannot take a step, but the almost as obviously
    nonsensical term
       succ (if true then true else true)
    can take a step (once, before becoming stuck). *)

(* ###################################################################### *)
(** ** 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_. *)

(** However, although values and normal forms are not the same in this
    language, the former set is included in the latter.  This is
    important because it shows we did not accidentally define things
    so that some value could still take a step. *)

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, advanced (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.  *)

Inductive ty : Type :=
  | TBool : ty
  | TNat : ty.

(** In informal notation, the typing relation is often written
    [|- t \in T], pronounced "[t] has type [T]."  The [|-] symbol is
    called a "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.) *)

(** _Proof_: By induction on a derivation of [|- t \in T].

      - If the last rule in the derivation is [T_If], then [t = if t1
        then t2 else t3], with [|- t1 \in Bool], [|- t2 \in T] and [|- t3
        \in T].  By the IH, either [t1] is a value or else [t1] can step
        to some [t1'].

            - If [t1] is a value, then by the canonical forms lemmas
              and the fact that [|- t1 \in Bool] we have that [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.

(** ** 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. *)

(** _Theorem_: If [|- t \in T] and [t ==> t'], then [|- t' \in T]. *)

(** _Proof_: By induction on a derivation of [|- t \in T].

      - If the last rule in the derivation is [T_If], then [t = if t1
        then t2 else t3], with [|- t1 \in Bool], [|- t2 \in T] and [|- t3
        \in 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 \in T], so we are done.

           - If the last rule was [ST_IfFalse], then [t' = t3].  But we
             know that [|- t3 \in 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 \in Bool] so,
             by the IH, [|- t1' \in Bool].  The [T_If] rule then gives us

(** We repeatedly apply [multi_step] until we get 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 multi_step. auto. simpl.
  apply multi_refl.

(** The following custom [Tactic Notation] definition captures this
    pattern.  In addition, before each [multi_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 multi_step ;
             [ (eauto 10; fail) | (instantiate; simpl)]);
   apply multi_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.

   (APlus (ANum 3) (AMult (ANum 3) (ANum 4)) / empty_state ==>a* ANum 15)
   (multi (astep empty_state) (APlus (ANum 3) (ANum 12)) (ANum 15))
   (multi (astep empty_state) (ANum 15) (ANum 15))
*)
Qed.


(** The [normalize] tactic also provides 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.

(* This time, the trace will be:

    (APlus (ANum 3) (AMult (ANum 3) (ANum 4)) / empty_state ==>a* ??)
    (multi (astep empty_state) (APlus (ANum 3) (ANum 12)) ??)
    (multi (astep empty_state) (ANum 15) ??)

   where ?? is the variable ``guessed'' by eapply.

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (subject_expansion) *)
(** Having seen the subject reduction property, it is reasonable to
    wonder whether the opposity property -- subject _expansion_ --
    also holds.  That is, is it always the case that, if [t ==> t']
    and [|- t' \in T], then [|- t \in T]?  If so, prove it.  If
    not, give a counter-example.  (You do not need to prove your
    counter-example in Coq, but feel free to do so if you like.)

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (variation1) *)
(** Suppose, that we add this new rule to the typing relation:
      | T_SuccBool : forall t,
           |- t \in TBool ->
           |- tsucc t \in TBool
   Which of the following properties remain true in the presence of
   this rule?  For each one, write either "remains true" or
   else "becomes false." If a property becomes false, give a
   counterexample.
      - Determinism of [step]

      - Progress

      - Preservation

    break just one of the properties and leave the others alone.

(** **** Exercise: 1 star (remove_predzero) *)
(** The evaluation rule [E_PredZero] is a bit counter-intuitive: we
    might feel that it makes more sense for the predecessor of zero to
    be undefined, rather than being defined to be zero.  Can we
    achieve this simply by removing the rule from the definition of
    [step]?  Would doing so create any problems elsewhere?
