adamc@83 19 (** %\chapter{More Dependent Types}% *)
adamc@83 20
adamc@83 21 (** Subset types and their relatives help us integrate verification with programming. Though they reorganize the certified programmer's workflow, they tend not to have deep effects on proofs. We write largely the same proofs as we would for classical verification, with some of the structure moved into the programs themselves. It turns out that, when we use dependent types to their full potential, we warp the development and proving process even more than that, picking up "free theorems" to the extent that often a certified program is hardly more complex than its uncertified counterpart in Haskell or ML.
adamc@83 22
adamc@83 23 In particular, we have only scratched the tip of the iceberg that is Coq's inductive definition mechanism. The inductive types we have seen so far have their counterparts in the other proof assistants that we surveyed in Chapter 1. This chapter explores the strange new world of dependent inductive datatypes (that is, dependent inductive types outside [Prop]), a possibility which sets Coq apart from all of the competition not based on type theory. *)

adamc@84 26 (** * Length-Indexed Lists *)
adamc@84 27
adamc@84 28 (** Many introductions to dependent types start out by showing how to use them to eliminate array bounds checks. When the type of an array tells you how many elements it has, your compiler can detect out-of-bounds dereferences statically. Since we are working in a pure functional language, the next best thing is length-indexed lists, which the following code defines. *)
adamc@84 29
adamc@84 30 Section ilist.
adamc@84 31 Variable A : Set.
adamc@84 32
adamc@84 33 Inductive ilist : nat -> Set :=
adamc@84 34 | Nil : ilist O
adamc@84 35 | Cons : forall n, A -> ilist n -> ilist (S n).
adamc@84 36
adamc@84 37 (** We see that, within its section, [ilist] is given type [nat -> Set]. Previously, every inductive type we have seen has either had plain [Set] as its type or has been a predicate with some type ending in [Prop]. The full generality of inductive definitions lets us integrate the expressivity of predicates directly into our normal programming.
adamc@84 38
adamc@84 39 The [nat] argument to [ilist] tells us the length of the list. The types of [ilist]'s constructors tell us that a [Nil] list has length [O] and that a [Cons] list has length one greater than the length of its sublist. We may apply [ilist] to any natural number, even natural numbers that are only known at runtime. It is this breaking of the %\textit{%#<i>#phase distinction#</i>#%}% that characterizes [ilist] as %\textit{%#<i>#dependently typed#</i>#%}%.
adamc@84 40
adamc@84 41 In expositions of list types, we usually see the length function defined first, but here that would not be a very productive function to code. Instead, let us implement list concatenation.
adamc@84 42

adamc@84 44 Fixpoint app n1 (ls1 : ilist n1) n2 (ls2 : ilist n2) {struct ls1} : ilist (n1 + n2) :=

adamc@84 47 | Cons _ x ls1' => Cons x (app ls1' ls2)
adamc@84 48 end.
adamc@84 49
adamc@84 50 Coq is not happy with this definition:
adamc@84 51
adamc@84 52 [[
adamc@84 53 The term "ls2" has type "ilist n2" while it is expected to have type
adamc@84 54 "ilist (?14 + n2)"
adamc@84 55 ]]
adamc@84 56
adamc@84 57 We see the return of a problem we have considered before. Without explicit annotations, Coq does not enrich our typing assumptions in the branches of a [match] expression. It is clear that the unification variable [?14] should be resolved to 0 in this context, so that we have [0 + n2] reducing to [n2], but Coq does not realize that. We cannot fix the problem using just the simple [return] clauses we applied in the last chapter. We need to combine a [return] clause with a new kind of annotation, an [in] clause. *)
adamc@84 58
adamc@84 59 Fixpoint app n1 (ls1 : ilist n1) n2 (ls2 : ilist n2) {struct ls1} : ilist (n1 + n2) :=

adamc@84 61 | Nil => ls2
adamc@84 62 | Cons _ x ls1' => Cons x (app ls1' ls2)
adamc@84 63 end.
adamc@84 64
adamc@84 65 (** This version of [app] passes the type checker. Using [return] alone allowed us to express a dependency of the [match] result type on the %\textit{%#<i>#value#</i>#%}% of the discriminee. What [in] adds to our arsenal is a way of expressing a dependency on the %\textit{%#<i>#type#</i>#%}% of the discriminee. Specifically, the [n1] in the [in] clause above is a %\textit{%#<i>#binding occurrence#</i>#%}% whose scope is the [return] clause.
adamc@84 66
adamc@84 67 We may use [in] clauses only to bind names for the arguments of an inductive type family. That is, each [in] clause must be an inductive type family name applied to a sequence of underscores and variable names of the proper length. The positions for %\textit{%#<i>#parameters#</i>#%}% to the type family must all be underscores. Parameters are those arguments declared with section variables or with entries to the left of the first colon in an inductive definition. They cannot vary depending on which constructor was used to build the discriminee, so Coq prohibits pointless matches on them. It is those arguments defined in the type to the right of the colon that we may name with [in] clauses.
adamc@84 68
adamc@84 69 Our [app] function could be typed in so-called %\textit{%#<i>#stratified#</i>#%}% type systems, which avoid true dependency. We could consider the length indices to lists to live in a separate, compile-time-only universe from the lists themselves. Our next example would be harder to implement in a stratified system. We write an injection function from regular lists to length-indexed lists. A stratified implementation would need to duplicate the definition of lists across compile-time and run-time versions, and the run-time versions would need to be indexed by the compile-time versions. *)

adamc@84 98 It is not clear what to write for the [Nil] case, so we are stuck before we even turn our function over to the type checker. We could try omitting the [Nil] case:

adamc@84 110 Unlike in ML, we cannot use inexhaustive pattern matching, becuase there is no conception of a %\texttt{%#<tt>#Match#</tt>#%}% exception to be thrown. We might try using an [in] clause somehow.

adamc@84 121
adamc@84 122 In this and other cases, we feel like we want [in] clauses with type family arguments that are not variables. Unfortunately, Coq only supports variables in those positions. A completely general mechanism could only be supported with a solution to the problem of higher-order unification, which is undecidable. There %\textit{%#<i>#are#</i>#%}% useful heuristics for handling non-variable indices which are gradually making their way into Coq, but we will spend some time in this and the next few chapters on effective pattern matching on dependent types using only the primitive [match] annotations.

We write that the function [hd'] returns [unit] when the list is empty and returns the carried type [A] in all other cases. In the definition of [hd], we just call [hd']. Because the index of [ls] is known to be nonzero, the type checker reduces the [match] in the type of [hd'] to [A]. *)

adamc@85 141 (** A favorite example for motivating the power of functional programming is implementation of a simple expression language interpreter. In ML and Haskell, such interpreters are often implemented using an algebraic datatype of values, where at many points it is checked that a value was built with the right constructor of the value type. With dependent types, we can implement a %\textit{%#<i>#tagless#</i>#%}% interpreter that both removes this source of runtime ineffiency and gives us more confidence that our implementation is correct. *)

adamc@85 191 (** Again we find that an [in] annotation is essential for type-checking a function. Besides that, the definition is routine. In fact, it is less complicated than what we would write in ML or Haskell 98, since we do not need to worry about pushing final values in and out of an algebraic datatype. The only unusual thing is the use of an expression of the form [if E then true else false] in the [Eq] case. Remember that [eq_nat_dec] has a rich dependent type, rather than a simple boolean type. Coq's native [if] is overloaded to work on a test of any two-constructor type, so we can use [if] to build a simple boolean from the [sumbool] that [eq_nat_dec] returns.
adamc@85 192
adamc@85 193 We can implement our old favorite, a constant folding function, and prove it correct. It will be useful to write a function [pairOut] that checks if an [exp] of [Prod] type is a pair, returning its two components if so. Unsurprisingly, a first attempt leads to a type error.

The problem would just be hopeless without a use of an [in] clause, though, since the result type of the [match] depends on an argument to [exp].

adamc@85 229
adamc@85 230 (** There is one important subtlety in this definition. Coq allows us to use convenient ML-style pattern matching notation, but, internally and in proofs, we see that patterns are expanded out completely, matching one level of inductive structure at a time. Thus, the default case in the [match] above expands out to one case for each constructor of [exp] besides [Pair], and the underscore in [pairOutDefault _] is resolved differently in each case. From an ML or Haskell programmer's perspective, what we have here is type inference determining which code is run (returning either [None] or [tt]), which goes beyond what is possible with type inference guiding parametric polymorphism in Hindley-Milner languages, but is similar to what goes on with Haskell type classes.
adamc@85 231
adamc@85 232 With [pairOut] available, we can write [cfold] in a straightforward way. There are really no surprises beyond that Coq verifies that this code has such an expressive type, given the small annotation burden. *)

adamc@85 327 Coq gives us another cryptic error message. Like so many others, this one basically means that Coq is not able to build some proof about dependent types. It is hard to generate helpful and specific error messages for problems like this, since that would require some kind of understanding of the dependency structure of a piece of code. We will encounter many examples of case-specific tricks for recovering from errors like this one.
adamc@85 328
adamc@85 329 For our current proof, we can use a tactic [dep_destruct] defined in the book [Tactics] module. General elimination/inversion of dependently-typed hypotheses is undecidable, since it must be implemented with [match] expressions that have the restriction on [in] clauses that we have already discussed. [dep_destruct] makes a best effort to handle some common cases. In a future chapter, we will learn about the explicit manipulation of equality proofs that is behind [dep_destruct]'s implementation in Ltac, but for now, we treat it as a useful black box. *)

We can then assign a dependent type to a regular expression matching function, guaranteeing that it always decides the string property that we expect it to decide.
adamc@93 350
adamc@93 351 Before defining the syntax of expressions, it is helpful to define an inductive type capturing the meaning of the Kleene star. We use Coq's string support, which comes through a combination of the [Strings] library and some parsing notations built into Coq. Operators like [++] and functions like [length] that we know from lists are defined again for strings. Notation scopes help us control which versions we want to use in particular contexts. *)

adamc@93 380 What is a large inductive type? In Coq, it is an inductive type that has a constructor which quantifies over some type of type [Type]. We have not worked with [Type] very much to this point. Every term of CIC has a type, including [Set] and [Prop], which are assigned type [Type]. The type [string -> Prop] from the failed definition also has type [Type].
adamc@93 381
adamc@93 382 It turns out that allowing large inductive types in [Set] leads to contradictions when combined with certain kinds of classical logic reasoning. Thus, by default, such types are ruled out. There is a simple fix for our [regexp] definition, which is to place our new type in [Type]. While fixing the problem, we also expand the list of constructors to cover the remaining regular expression operators. *)
