(** * Types: Type Systems *)
Require Export Smallstep.
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_. *)
Notation step_normal_form := (normal_form step).
Definition stuck (t:tm) : Prop :=
step_normal_form t /\ ~ value t.
Hint Unfold stuck.
(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (some_term_is_stuck) *)
Example some_term_is_stuck :
exists t, stuck t.
Proof.
exists (tsucc ttrue). unfold stuck. split.
Case "normal_form".
unfold normal_form, not. intro Contra. inversion Contra. inversion H. inversion H1.
Case "~ value".

Qed.
(** [] *)
(** 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. *)
Lemma value_is_nf : forall t,
value t -> step_normal_form t.
Proof.

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, optional (step_deterministic) *)

also deterministic... *)

(** ** 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. *)

[|- 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.) *)

(** _Theorem_: If [|- t \in T], then either [t] is a value or else
[t ==> t'] for some [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]. By the IH, either [t1] is a value or else [t1] can step
to some [t1'].
- If [t1] is a value, then it is either an [nvalue] or a
[bvalue]. But it cannot be an [nvalue], because we know
[|- t1 \in Bool] and there are no rules assigning type
[Bool] to any term that could be an [nvalue]. So [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.
- If [t1] itself can take a step, then, by [ST_If], so can
[t].

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, advanced (finish_preservation_informal) *)
(** Complete the following proof: *)
(** _Theorem_: If [|- t \in T] and [t ==> t'], then [|- t' \in T]. *)
(** _Proof_: By induction on a derivation of [|- t \in T], for each constructor
of the 'has_type' inductive type we need to show the objective
[|- t' \in T] assuming that t was obtained with this constructor and the
preconditions of the constructor become our inductive hypothesis.
- The constructors T_False and T_True can be ruled out immediately, because
there are no t' such that ttrue ==> t' or tfalse ==> 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
[|- if t1' then t2 else t3 \in T], as required.
- If the last rule in the derivation of t's type is [T_Succ] then
t must have the form [succ t1] where [|-t1 \in Nat]. Therefore
[t ==> t'] must have the form [succ t1 ==> succ t1'] and thus
must be obtained by [ST_Succ]. By the induction hypothesis
[|- t1' \in Nat] for any [t1'] such that [t1 ==> t1']. Therefore by
[T_Succ] [|- t' = succ t1' \in Nat].
- If the last rule in the derivation of t's type is [T_Pred], [t] must
have the form [pred 0] ([ST_PredZero]), [pred (succ v1)] ([ST_PredSucc])
or [pred t1] ([ST_Pred]). In the first case we must show that 0 has
type Nat, which is trivial. In the second, we must show that given
v1 has type Nat so has pred (succ v1) ==> v1, which is again trivial.
In the last case we must show that for t1 ==> t1', pred t1 ==> pred t1'
has the right type, which follows from an application of the induction
hypothesis (to show that t1' has type Nat) and an application of ST_Pred.
- Similar to the previous case.
