(** So far, we have seen many examples of what we might call %``%#"#classical program verification.#"#%''%  We write programs, write their specifications, and then prove that the programs satisfy their specifications.  The programs that we have written in Coq have been normal functional programs that we could just as well have written in Haskell or ML.  In this chapter, we start investigating uses of %\index{dependent types}\textit{%#<i>#dependent types#</i>#%}% to integrate programming, specification, and proving into a single phase.  The techniques we will learn make it possible to reduce the cost of program verification dramatically. *)

(** We expand the type of [pred] to include a %\textit{%#<i>#proof#</i>#%}% that its argument [n] is greater than 0.  When [n] is 0, we use the proof to derive a contradiction, which we can use to build a value of any type via a vacuous pattern match.  When [n] is a successor, we have no need for the proof and just return the answer.  The proof argument can be said to have a %\textit{%#<i>#dependent#</i>#%}% type, because its type depends on the %\textit{%#<i>#value#</i>#%}% of the argument [n].

One aspect in particular of the definition of [pred_strong1] may be surprising.  We took advantage of [Definition]'s syntactic sugar for defining function arguments in the case of [n], but we bound the proofs later with explicit [fun] expressions.  Let us see what happens if we write this function in the way that at first seems most natural.

The term [zgtz pf] fails to type-check.  Somehow the type checker has failed to take into account information that follows from which [match] branch that term appears in.  The problem is that, by default, [match] does not let us use such implied information.  To get refined typing, we must always rely on [match] annotations, either written explicitly or inferred.
Adam Chlipala's avatar
Adam Chlipala committed
106 107 108

In this case, we must use a [return] annotation to declare the relationship between the %\textit{%#<i>#value#</i>#%}% of the [match] discriminee and the %\textit{%#<i>#type#</i>#%}% of the result.  There is no annotation that lets us declare a relationship between the discriminee and the type of a variable that is already in scope; hence, we delay the binding of [pf], so that we can use the [return] annotation to express the needed relationship.

We are lucky that Coq's heuristics infer the [return] clause (specifically, [return n > 0 -> nat]) for us in this case. *)

Definition pred_strong1' (n : nat) : n > 0 -> nat :=
  match n return n > 0 -> nat with
    | O => fun pf : 0 > 0 => match zgtz pf with end
    | S n' => fun _ => n'
  end.

(** By making explicit the functional relationship between value [n] and the result type of the [match], we guide Coq toward proper type checking.  The clause for this example follows by simple copying of the original annotation on the definition.  In general, however, the [match] annotation inference problem is undecidable.  The known undecidable problem of %\index{higher-order unification}\textit{%#<i>#higher-order unification#</i>#%}~\cite{HOU}% reduces to the [match] type inference problem.  Over time, Coq is enhanced with more and more heuristics to get around this problem, but there must always exist [match]es whose types Coq cannot infer without annotations.

The family [sig] is a Curry-Howard twin of [ex], except that [sig] is in [Type], while [ex] is in [Prop].  That means that [sig] values can survive extraction, while [ex] proofs will always be erased.  The actual details of extraction of [sig]s are more subtle, as we will see shortly.

We arrive at the same OCaml code as was extracted from [pred_strong1], which may seem surprising at first.  The reason is that a value of [sig] is a pair of two pieces, a value and a proof about it.  Extraction erases the proof, which reduces the constructor [exist] of [sig] to taking just a single argument.  An optimization eliminates uses of datatypes with single constructors taking single arguments, and we arrive back where we started.

We can continue on in the process of refining [pred]'s type.  Let us change its result type to capture that the output is really the predecessor of the input. *)

We have managed to reach a type that is, in a formal sense, the most expressive possible for [pred].  Any other implementation of the same type must have the same input-output behavior.  However, there is still room for improvement in making this kind of code easier to write.  Here is a version that takes advantage of tactic-based theorem proving.  We switch back to passing a separate proof argument instead of using a subset type for the function's input, because this leads to cleaner code.  (Recall that [False_rec] is the [Set]-level induction principle for [False], which can be used to produce a value in any [Set] given a proof of [False].) *)

  (** We build [pred_strong4] using tactic-based proving, beginning with a [Definition] command that ends in a period before a definition is given.  Such a command enters the interactive proving mode, with the type given for the new identifier as our proof goal.  It may seem strange to change perspective so implicitly between programming and proving, but recall that programs and proofs are two sides of the same coin in Coq, thanks to the Curry-Howard correspondence.

     We do most of the work with the %\index{tactics!refine}%[refine] tactic, to which we pass a partial %``%#"#proof#"#%''% of the type we are trying to prove.  There may be some pieces left to fill in, indicated by underscores.  Any underscore that Coq cannot reconstruct with type inference is added as a proof subgoal.  In this case, we have two subgoals:

We can see that the first subgoal comes from the second underscore passed to [False_rec], and the second subgoal comes from the second underscore passed to [exist].  In the first case, we see that, though we bound the proof variable with an underscore, it is still available in our proof context.  It is hard to refer to underscore-named variables in manual proofs, but automation makes short work of them.  Both subgoals are easy to discharge that way, so let us back up and ask to prove all subgoals automatically. *)

(** The [Reduce] notation is notable because it demonstrates how [if] is overloaded in Coq.  The [if] form actually works when the test expression has any two-constructor inductive type.  Moreover, in the [then] and [else] branches, the appropriate constructor arguments are bound.  This is important when working with [sumbool]s, when we want to have the proof stored in the test expression available when proving the proof obligations generated in the appropriate branch.

Now we can write [eq_nat_dec], which compares two natural numbers, returning either a proof of their equality or a proof of their inequality. *)
