(** * Stlc: The Simply Typed Lambda-Calculus *)
Require Export Types.
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** * The Simply Typed Lambda-Calculus *)
(** The simply typed lambda-calculus (STLC) is a tiny core calculus
embodying the key concept of _functional abstraction_, which shows
up in pretty much every real-world programming language in some
form (functions, procedures, methods, etc.).
We will follow exactly the same pattern as in the previous
chapter when formalizing this calculus (syntax, small-step
semantics, typing rules) and its main properties (progress and
preservation). The new technical challenges (which will take some
work to deal with) all arise from the mechanisms of _variable
binding_ and _substitution_. *)
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** ** Overview *)
(** The STLC is built on some collection of _base types_ -- booleans,
numbers, strings, etc. The exact choice of base types doesn't
matter -- the construction of the language and its theoretical
properties work out pretty much the same -- so for the sake of
brevity let's take just [Bool] for the moment. At the end of the
chapter we'll see how to add more base types, and in later
chapters we'll enrich the pure STLC with other useful constructs
like pairs, records, subtyping, and mutable state.
Starting from the booleans, we add three things:
- variables
- function abstractions
- application
This gives us the following collection of abstract syntax
constructors (written out here in informal BNF notation -- we'll
formalize it below).
*)
(** Informal concrete syntax:
t ::= x variable
| \x:T1.t2 abstraction
| t1 t2 application
| true constant true
| false constant false
| if t1 then t2 else t3 conditional
*)
(** The [\] symbol (backslash, in ascii) in a function abstraction
[\x:T1.t2] is generally written as a greek letter "lambda" (hence
the name of the calculus). The variable [x] is called the
_parameter_ to the function; the term [t1] is its _body_. The
annotation [:T] specifies the type of arguments that the function
can be applied to. *)
(** Some examples:
- [\x:Bool. x]
The identity function for booleans.
- [(\x:Bool. x) true]
The identity function for booleans, applied to the boolean [true].
- [\x:Bool. if x then false else true]
The boolean "not" function.
- [\x:Bool. true]
The constant function that takes every (boolean) argument to
[true]. *)
(**
- [\x:Bool. \y:Bool. x]
A two-argument function that takes two booleans and returns
the first one. (Note that, as in Coq, a two-argument function
is really a one-argument function whose body is also a
one-argument function.)
- [(\x:Bool. \y:Bool. x) false true]
A two-argument function that takes two booleans and returns
the first one, applied to the booleans [false] and [true].
Note that, as in Coq, application associates to the left --
i.e., this expression is parsed as [((\x:Bool. \y:Bool. x)
false) true].
- [\f:Bool->Bool. f (f true)]
A higher-order function that takes a _function_ [f] (from
booleans to booleans) as an argument, applies [f] to [true],
and applies [f] again to the result.
- [(\f:Bool->Bool. f (f true)) (\x:Bool. false)]
The same higher-order function, applied to the constantly
[false] function. *)
(** As the last several examples show, the STLC is a language of
_higher-order_ functions: we can write down functions that take
other functions as arguments and/or return other functions as
results.
Another point to note is that the STLC doesn't provide any
primitive syntax for defining _named_ functions -- all functions
are "anonymous." We'll see in chapter [MoreStlc] that it is easy
to add named functions to what we've got -- indeed, the
fundamental naming and binding mechanisms are exactly the same.
The _types_ of the STLC include [Bool], which classifies the
boolean constants [true] and [false] as well as more complex
computations that yield booleans, plus _arrow types_ that classify
functions. *)
(**
T ::= Bool
| T1 -> T2
For example:
- [\x:Bool. false] has type [Bool->Bool]
- [\x:Bool. x] has type [Bool->Bool]
- [(\x:Bool. x) true] has type [Bool]
- [\x:Bool. \y:Bool. x] has type [Bool->Bool->Bool] (i.e. [Bool -> (Bool->Bool)])
- [(\x:Bool. \y:Bool. x) false] has type [Bool->Bool]
- [(\x:Bool. \y:Bool. x) false true] has type [Bool]
*)

(** *** Terms *)
Inductive tm : Type :=
| tvar : id -> tm
| tapp : tm -> tm -> tm

| Case_aux c "tabs" | Case_aux c "ttrue"
| Case_aux c "tfalse" | Case_aux c "tif" ].
(** Note that an abstraction [\x:T.t] (formally, [tabs x T t]) is
always annotated with the type [T] of its parameter, in contrast
to Coq (and other functional languages like ML, Haskell, etc.),
which use _type inference_ to fill in missing annotations. We're
not considering type inference here, to keep things simple. *)
(** Some examples... *)

(** [idB = \x:Bool. x] *)
Notation idB :=

(** [idBB = \x:Bool->Bool. x] *)
Notation idBB :=

(** [idBBBB = \x:(Bool->Bool) -> (Bool->Bool). x] *)
Notation idBBBB :=

(** [k = \x:Bool. \y:Bool. x] *)
Notation k := (tabs x TBool (tabs y TBool (tvar x))).
(** [notB = \x:Bool. if x then false else true] *)
Notation notB := (tabs x TBool (tif (tvar x) tfalse ttrue)).
(** (We write these as [Notation]s rather than [Definition]s to make
things easier for [auto].) *)
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** ** Operational Semantics *)
(** To define the small-step semantics of STLC terms, we begin -- as
always -- by defining the set of values. Next, we define the
critical notions of _free variables_ and _substitution_, which are
used in the reduction rule for application expressions. And
finally we give the small-step relation itself. *)
(* ################################### *)
(** *** Values *)
(** To define the values of the STLC, we have a few cases to consider.
First, for the boolean part of the language, the situation is
clear: [true] and [false] are the only values. An [if]
expression is never a value. *)
(** Second, an application is clearly not a value: It represents a
function being invoked on some argument, which clearly still has
work left to do. *)
(** Third, for abstractions, we have a choice:
- We can say that [\x:T.t1] is a value only when [t1] is a
value -- i.e., only if the function's body has been
reduced (as much as it can be without knowing what argument it
is going to be applied to).
- Or we can say that [\x:T.t1] is always a value, no matter
whether [t1] is one or not -- in other words, we can say that
reduction stops at abstractions.
Coq, in its built-in functional programming langauge, makes the
first choice -- for example,
Eval simpl in (fun x:bool => 3 + 4)
yields [fun x:bool => 7].
Most real-world functional programming languages make the second
choice -- reduction of a function's body only begins when the
function is actually applied to an argument. We also make the
second choice here. *)
(** Finally, having made the choice not to reduce under abstractions,
we don't need to worry about whether variables are values, since
we'll always be reducing programs "from the outside in," and that
means the [step] relation will always be working with closed
terms (ones with no free variables). *)

Hint Constructors value.
(* ###################################################################### *)
(** *** Free Variables and Substitution *)
(** Now we come to the heart of the STLC: the operation of
substituting one term for a variable in another term.
This operation will be used below to define the operational
semantics of function application, where we will need to
substitute the argument term for the function parameter in the
function's body. For example, we reduce
(\x:Bool. if x then true else x) false
to
if false then true else false
]]
by substituting [false] for the parameter [x] in the body of the
function.
In general, we need to be able to substitute some given
term [s] for occurrences of some variable [x] in another term [t].
In informal discussions, this is usually written [ [x:=s]t ] and
pronounced "substitute [x] with [s] in [t]." *)
(** Here are some examples:
- [[x:=true] (if x then x else false)] yields [if true then true else false]
- [[x:=true] x] yields [true]
- [[x:=true] (if x then x else y)] yields [if true then true else y]
- [[x:=true] y] yields [y]
- [[x:=true] false] yields [false] (vacuous substitution)

The last example is very important: substituting [x] with [true] in
[\x:Bool. x] does _not_ yield [\x:Bool. true]! The reason for
this is that the [x] in the body of [\x:Bool. x] is _bound_ by the
abstraction: it is a new, local name that just happens to be
spelled the same as some global name [x]. *)

this extra complexity here, but it must be dealt with when

(** *** Reduction *)
(** The small-step reduction relation for STLC now follows the same
pattern as the ones we have seen before. Intuitively, to reduce a
function application, we first reduce its left-hand side until it
becomes a literal function; then we reduce its right-hand
side (the argument) until it is also a value; and finally we
substitute the argument for the bound variable in the body of the
function. This last rule, written informally as
(\x:T.t12) v2 ==> [x:=v2]t12
is traditionally called "beta-reduction". *)
