(** %\chapter{More Dependent Types}% *)

(** 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.

   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. *)


(** * Length-Indexed Lists *)

(** 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. *)

Section ilist.
  Variable A : Set.

  Inductive ilist : nat -> Set :=
  | Nil : ilist O
  | Cons : forall n, A -> ilist n -> ilist (S n).

(** 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.

   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>#%}%.

   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. *)

  Fixpoint app n1 (ls1 : ilist n1) n2 (ls2 : ilist n2) : ilist (n1 + n2) :=
    match ls1 with
      | Nil => ls2
      | Cons _ x ls1' => Cons x (app ls1' ls2)
    end.

  (** In Coq version 8.1 and earlier, this definition leads to an error message:

[[
The term "ls2" has type "ilist n2" while it is expected to have type
 "ilist (?14 + n2)"
 
]]

  In Coq's core language, 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.  This is exactly what the inference heuristics do in Coq 8.2 and later.

  Specifically, Coq infers the following definition from the simpler one. *)

(* EX: Implement concatenation *)

(* begin thide *)
Fixpoint app' n1 (ls1 : ilist n1) n2 (ls2 : ilist n2) : ilist (n1 + n2) :=
  match ls1 in (ilist n1) return (ilist (n1 + n2)) with
    | Nil => ls2
    | Cons _ x ls1' => Cons x (app' ls1' ls2)
  end.
(* end thide *)

(** 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.

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.

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. *)

(* EX: Implement injection from normal lists *)

(* begin thide *)
Fixpoint inject (ls : list A) : ilist (length ls) :=
  match ls with
    | nil => Nil
    | h :: t => Cons h (inject t)
  end.

(** We can define an inverse conversion and prove that it really is an inverse. *)

Fixpoint unject n (ls : ilist n) : list A :=
  match ls with
    | Nil => nil
    | Cons _ h t => h :: unject t
  end.

Theorem inject_inverse : forall ls, unject (inject ls) = ls.
  induction ls; crush.
Qed.
(* end thide *)

(* EX: Implement statically-checked "car"/"hd" *)

(** Now let us attempt a function that is surprisingly tricky to write.  In ML, the list head function raises an exception when passed an empty list.  With length-indexed lists, we can rule out such invalid calls statically, and here is a first attempt at doing so.

[[
Definition hd n (ls : ilist (S n)) : A :=
  match ls with
    | Nil => ???
    | Cons _ h _ => h
  end.
 
]]

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:

[[
Definition hd n (ls : ilist (S n)) : A :=
  match ls with
    | Cons _ h _ => h
  end.

Error: Non exhaustive pattern-matching: no clause found for pattern Nil
 
]]

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

[[
Definition hd n (ls : ilist (S n)) : A :=
  match ls in (ilist (S n)) with
    | Cons _ h _ => h
  end.

Error: The reference n was not found in the current environment
 
]]

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.

Our final, working attempt at [hd] uses an auxiliary function and a surprising [return] annotation. *)

(* begin thide *)
Definition hd' n (ls : ilist n) :=
  match ls in (ilist n) return (match n with O => unit | S _ => A end) with
    | Nil => tt
    | Cons _ h _ => h
  end.

Definition hd n (ls : ilist (S n)) : A := hd' ls.
(* end thide *)

(** We annotate our main [match] with a type that is itself a [match].  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]. *)

End ilist.


(** * A Tagless Interpreter *)

(** 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. *)

Inductive type : Set :=
| Nat : type
| Bool : type
| Prod : type -> type -> type.

Inductive exp : type -> Set :=
| NConst : nat -> exp Nat
| Plus : exp Nat -> exp Nat -> exp Nat
| Eq : exp Nat -> exp Nat -> exp Bool

| BConst : bool -> exp Bool
| And : exp Bool -> exp Bool -> exp Bool
| If : forall t, exp Bool -> exp t -> exp t -> exp t

| Pair : forall t1 t2, exp t1 -> exp t2 -> exp (Prod t1 t2)
| Fst : forall t1 t2, exp (Prod t1 t2) -> exp t1
| Snd : forall t1 t2, exp (Prod t1 t2) -> exp t2.

(** We have a standard algebraic datatype [type], defining a type language of naturals, booleans, and product (pair) types.  Then we have the indexed inductive type [exp], where the argument to [exp] tells us the encoded type of an expression.  In effect, we are defining the typing rules for expressions simultaneously with the syntax.

   We can give types and expressions semantics in a new style, based critically on the chance for %\textit{%#<i>#type-level computation#</i>#%}%. *)

Fixpoint typeDenote (t : type) : Set :=
  match t with
    | Nat => nat
    | Bool => bool
    | Prod t1 t2 => typeDenote t1 * typeDenote t2
  end%type.

(** [typeDenote] compiles types of our object language into "native" Coq types.  It is deceptively easy to implement.  The only new thing we see is the [%type] annotation, which tells Coq to parse the [match] expression using the notations associated with types.  Without this annotation, the [*] would be interpreted as multiplication on naturals, rather than as the product type constructor.  [type] is one example of an identifer bound to a %\textit{%#<i>#notation scope#</i>#%}%.  We will deal more explicitly with notations and notation scopes in later chapters.

   We can define a function [expDenote] that is typed in terms of [typeDenote]. *)

Fixpoint expDenote t (e : exp t) : typeDenote t :=
  match e with
    | NConst n => n
    | Plus e1 e2 => expDenote e1 + expDenote e2
    | Eq e1 e2 => if eq_nat_dec (expDenote e1) (expDenote e2) then true else false

    | BConst b => b
    | And e1 e2 => expDenote e1 && expDenote e2
    | If _ e' e1 e2 => if expDenote e' then expDenote e1 else expDenote e2

    | Pair _ _ e1 e2 => (expDenote e1, expDenote e2)
    | Fst _ _ e' => fst (expDenote e')
    | Snd _ _ e' => snd (expDenote e')
  end.

(** Despite the fancy type, the function 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.

   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.

[[
Definition pairOut t1 t2 (e : exp (Prod t1 t2)) : option (exp t1 * exp t2) :=
  match e in (exp (Prod t1 t2)) return option (exp t1 * exp t2) with
    | Pair _ _ e1 e2 => Some (e1, e2)
    | _ => None
  end.

Error: The reference t2 was not found in the current environment
 ]]

We run again into the problem of not being able to specify non-variable arguments in [in] clauses.  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].  Our solution will be to use a more general type, as we did for [hd].  First, we define a type-valued function to use in assigning a type to [pairOut]. *)

(* EX: Define a function [pairOut : forall t1 t2, exp (Prod t1 t2) -> option (exp t1 * exp t2)] *)

(* begin thide *)
Definition pairOutType (t : type) :=
  match t with
    | Prod t1 t2 => option (exp t1 * exp t2)
    | _ => unit
  end.

(** When passed a type that is a product, [pairOutType] returns our final desired type.  On any other input type, [pairOutType] returns [unit], since we do not care about extracting components of non-pairs.  Now we can write another helper function to provide the default behavior of [pairOut], which we will apply for inputs that are not literal pairs. *)

Definition pairOutDefault (t : type) :=
  match t return (pairOutType t) with
    | Prod _ _ => None
    | _ => tt
  end.

(** Now [pairOut] is deceptively easy to write. *)

Definition pairOut t (e : exp t) :=
  match e in (exp t) return (pairOutType t) with
    | Pair _ _ e1 e2 => Some (e1, e2)
    | _ => pairOutDefault _
  end.
(* end thide *)

(** 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.

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.  In some places, we see that Coq's [match] annotation inference is too smart for its own good, and we have to turn that inference off by writing [return _]. *)

Fixpoint cfold t (e : exp t) : exp t :=
  match e with
    | NConst n => NConst n
    | Plus e1 e2 =>
      let e1' := cfold e1 in
      let e2' := cfold e2 in
      match e1', e2' return _ with
        | NConst n1, NConst n2 => NConst (n1 + n2)

      match e1', e2' return _ with
        | NConst n1, NConst n2 => BConst (if eq_nat_dec n1 n2 then true else false)
        | _, _ => Eq e1' e2'
      end

    | BConst b => BConst b
    | And e1 e2 =>
      let e1' := cfold e1 in
      let e2' := cfold e2 in
      match e1', e2' return _ with
        | BConst b1, BConst b2 => BConst (b1 && b2)
        | _, _ => And e1' e2'
      end
    | If _ e e1 e2 =>
      let e' := cfold e in
      match e' with
        | BConst true => cfold e1
        | BConst false => cfold e2
        | _ => If e' (cfold e1) (cfold e2)
      end

    | Pair _ _ e1 e2 => Pair (cfold e1) (cfold e2)
    | Fst _ _ e =>
      let e' := cfold e in
      match pairOut e' with
        | Some p => fst p
        | None => Fst e'
      end
    | Snd _ _ e =>
      let e' := cfold e in
      match pairOut e' with
        | Some p => snd p
        | None => Snd e'
      end
  end.

    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.

    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, relying upon the more primitive [dependent destruction] tactic that comes with Coq.  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. *)
  
  dep_destruct (cfold e1).

  (** This successfully breaks the subgoal into 5 new subgoals, one for each constructor of [exp] that could produce an [exp Nat].  Note that [dep_destruct] is successful in ruling out the other cases automatically, in effect automating some of the work that we have done manually in implementing functions like [hd] and [pairOut].

     This is the only new trick we need to learn to complete the proof.  We can back up and give a short, automated proof.  The main inconvenience in the proof is that we cannot write a pattern that matches a [match] without including a case for every constructor of the inductive type we match over. *)

(** * Dependently-Typed Red-Black Trees *)

(** Red-black trees are a favorite purely-functional data structure with an interesting invariant.  We can use dependent types to enforce that operations on red-black trees preserve the invariant.  For simplicity, we specialize our red-black trees to represent sets of [nat]s. *)

Inductive color : Set := Red | Black.

Inductive rbtree : color -> nat -> Set :=
| Leaf : rbtree Black 0
| RedNode : forall n, rbtree Black n -> nat -> rbtree Black n -> rbtree Red n
| BlackNode : forall c1 c2 n, rbtree c1 n -> nat -> rbtree c2 n -> rbtree Black (S n).

(** A value of type [rbtree c d] is a red-black tree node whose root has color [c] and that has black depth [d].  The latter property means that there are no more than [d] black-colored nodes on any path from the root to a leaf. *)

(** At first, it can be unclear that this choice of type indices tracks any useful property.  To convince ourselves, we will prove that every red-black tree is balanced.  We will phrase our theorem in terms of a depth calculating function that ignores the extra information in the types.  It will be useful to parameterize this function over a combining operation, so that we can re-use the same code to calculate the minimum or maximum height among all paths from root to leaf. *)

It is useful to do this because it makes the truth of [P] manifest syntactically, so that automation machinery can rely on [P], even if that machinery is not smart enough to establish [P] on its own. *)

(** Now we are ready to implement an example operation on our trees, insertion.  Insertion can be thought of as breaking the tree invariants locally but then rebalancing.  In particular, in intermediate states we find red nodes that may have red children.  The type [rtree] captures the idea of such a node, continuing to track black depth as a type index. *)

Inductive rtree : nat -> Set :=
| RedNode' : forall c1 c2 n, rbtree c1 n -> nat -> rbtree c2 n -> rtree n.

(** Insertion relies on two balancing operations.  It will be useful to give types to these operations using a relative of the subset types from last chapter.  While subset types let us pair a value with a proof about that value, here we want to pair a value with another non-proof dependently-typed value.  The [sigT] type fills this role. *)

Notation "{< x >}" := (existT _ _ x).

(** Each balance function is used to construct a new tree whose keys include the keys of two input trees, as well as a new key.  One of the two input trees may violate the red-black alternation invariant (that is, it has an [rtree] type), while the other tree is known to be valid.  Crucially, the two input trees have the same black depth.

   A balance operation may return a tree whose root is of either color.  Thus, we use a [sigT] type to package the result tree with the color of its root.  Here is the definition of the first balance operation, which applies when the possibly-invalid [rtree] belongs to the left of the valid [rbtree]. *)

Definition balance1 n (a : rtree n) (data : nat) c2 :=
  match a in rtree n return rbtree c2 n
    -> { c : color & rbtree c (S n) } with
    | RedNode' _ _ _ t1 y t2 =>
      match t1 in rbtree c n return rbtree _ n -> rbtree c2 n
        -> { c : color & rbtree c (S n) } with
        | RedNode _ a x b => fun c d =>
          {<RedNode (BlackNode a x b) y (BlackNode c data d)>}
        | t1' => fun t2 =>
          match t2 in rbtree c n return rbtree _ n -> rbtree c2 n
            -> { c : color & rbtree c (S n) } with
            | RedNode _ b x c => fun a d =>
              {<RedNode (BlackNode a y b) x (BlackNode c data d)>}
            | b => fun a t => {<BlackNode (RedNode a y b) data t>}
          end t1'
      end t2
  end.

(** We apply a trick that I call the %\textit{%#<i>#convoy pattern#</i>#%}%.  Recall that [match] annotations only make it possible to describe a dependence of a [match] %\textit{%#<i>#result type#</i>#%}% on the discriminee.  There is no automatic refinement of the types of free variables.  However, it is possible to effect such a refinement by finding a way to encode free variable type dependencies in the [match] result type, so that a [return] clause can express the connection.

   In particular, we can extend the [match] to return %\textit{%#<i>#functions over the free variables whose types we want to refine#</i>#%}%.  In the case of [balance1], we only find ourselves wanting to refine the type of one tree variable at a time.  We match on one subtree of a node, and we want the type of the other subtree to be refined based on what we learn.  We indicate this with a [return] clause starting like [rbtree _ n -> ...], where [n] is bound in an [in] pattern.  Such a [match] expression is applied immediately to the "old version" of the variable to be refined, and the type checker is happy.

   After writing this code, even I do not understand the precise details of how balancing works.  I consulted Chris Okasaki's paper "Red-Black Trees in a Functional Setting" and transcribed the code to use dependent types.  Luckily, the details are not so important here; types alone will tell us that insertion preserves balanced-ness, and we will prove that insertion produces trees containing the right keys.

   Here is the symmetric function [balance2], for cases where the possibly-invalid tree appears on the right rather than on the left. *)

Definition balance2 n (a : rtree n) (data : nat) c2 :=
  match a in rtree n return rbtree c2 n -> { c : color & rbtree c (S n) } with
    | RedNode' _ _ _ t1 z t2 =>
      match t1 in rbtree c n return rbtree _ n -> rbtree c2 n
        -> { c : color & rbtree c (S n) } with
        | RedNode _ b y c => fun d a =>
          {<RedNode (BlackNode a data b) y (BlackNode c z d)>}
        | t1' => fun t2 =>
          match t2 in rbtree c n return rbtree _ n -> rbtree c2 n
            -> { c : color & rbtree c (S n) } with
            | RedNode _ c z' d => fun b a =>
              {<RedNode (BlackNode a data b) z (BlackNode c z' d)>}

          end t1'
      end t2
  end.

(** Now we are almost ready to get down to the business of writing an [insert] function.  First, we enter a section that declares a variable [x], for the key we want to insert. *)

Section insert.
  Variable x : nat.

  (** Most of the work of insertion is done by a helper function [ins], whose return types are expressed using a type-level function [insResult]. *)

  Definition insResult c n :=
    match c with
      | Red => rtree n
      | Black => { c' : color & rbtree c' n }
    end.

  (** That is, inserting into a tree with root color [c] and black depth [n], the variety of tree we get out depends on [c].  If we started with a red root, then we get back a possibly-invalid tree of depth [n].  If we started with a black root, we get back a valid tree of depth [n] with a root node of an arbitary color.

     Here is the definition of [ins].  Again, we do not want to dwell on the functional details. *)

  Fixpoint ins c n (t : rbtree c n) : insResult c n :=
    match t with
      | Leaf => {< RedNode Leaf x Leaf >}
      | RedNode _ a y b =>
        if le_lt_dec x y
          then RedNode' (projT2 (ins a)) y b
          else RedNode' a y (projT2 (ins b))
      | BlackNode c1 c2 _ a y b =>
        if le_lt_dec x y
          then
            match c1 return insResult c1 _ -> _ with
              | Red => fun ins_a => balance1 ins_a y b
              | _ => fun ins_a => {< BlackNode (projT2 ins_a) y b >}
            end (ins a)
          else
            match c2 return insResult c2 _ -> _ with
              | Red => fun ins_b => balance2 ins_b y a
              | _ => fun ins_b => {< BlackNode a y (projT2 ins_b) >}
            end (ins b)
    end.

  (** The one new trick is a variation of the convoy pattern.  In each of the last two pattern matches, we want to take advantage of the typing connection between the trees [a] and [b].  We might naively apply the convoy pattern directly on [a] in the first [match] and on [b] in the second.  This satisifies the type checker per se, but it does not satisfy the termination checker.  Inside each [match], we would be calling [ins] recursively on a locally-bound variable.  The termination checker is not smart enough to trace the dataflow into that variable, so the checker does not know that this recursive argument is smaller than the original argument.  We make this fact clearer by applying the convoy pattern on %\textit{%#<i>#the result of a recursive call#</i>#%}%, rather than just on that call's argument.

     Finally, we are in the home stretch of our effort to define [insert].  We just need a few more definitions of non-recursive functions.  First, we need to give the final characterization of [insert]'s return type.  Inserting into a red-rooted tree gives a black-rooted tree where black depth has increased, and inserting into a black-rooted tree gives a tree where black depth has stayed the same and where the root is an arbitrary color. *)

  Definition insertResult c n :=
    match c with
      | Red => rbtree Black (S n)
      | Black => { c' : color & rbtree c' n }
    end.

  (** A simple clean-up procedure translates [insResult]s into [insertResult]s. *)

  Definition makeRbtree c n : insResult c n -> insertResult c n :=
    match c with
      | Red => fun r =>
        match r with
          | RedNode' _ _ _ a x b => BlackNode a x b
        end
      | Black => fun r => r
    end.

  (** We modify Coq's default choice of implicit arguments for [makeRbtree], so that we do not need to specify the [c] and [n] arguments explicitly in later calls. *)

  Implicit Arguments makeRbtree [c n].

  (** Finally, we define [insert] as a simple composition of [ins] and [makeRbtree]. *)

  Definition insert c n (t : rbtree c n) : insertResult c n :=
    makeRbtree (ins t).

  (** As we noted earlier, the type of [insert] guarantees that it outputs balanced trees whose depths have not increased too much.  We also want to know that [insert] operates correctly on trees interpreted as finite sets, so we finish this section with a proof of that fact. *)

We use the keyword [Ltac] to assign a name to a proof script.  This particular script just iterates between [crush] and identification of a tree that is being pattern-matched on and should be destructed. *)

(** * A Certified Regular Expression Matcher *)

(** Another interesting example is regular expressions with dependent types that express which predicates over strings particular regexps implement.  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.

   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. *)

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].

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. *)

Inductive regexp : (string -> Prop) -> Type :=

  (** There is one subtle point in the [split'] code that is worth mentioning.  The main body of the function is a [match] on [n].  In the case where [n] is known to be [S n'], we write [S n'] in several places where we might be tempted to write [n].  However, without further work to craft proper [match] annotations, the type-checker does not use the equality between [n] and [S n'].  Thus, it is common to see patterns repeated in [match] case bodies in dependently-typed Coq code.  We can at least use a [let] expression to avoid copying the pattern more than once, replacing the first case body with:

     [[

(** %\begin{enumerate}%#<ol>#

%\item%#<li># Define a kind of dependently-typed lists, where a list's type index gives a lower bound on how many of its elements satisfy a particular predicate.  In particular, for an arbitrary set [A] and a predicate [P] over it:
%\begin{enumerate}%#<ol>#
  %\item%#<li># Define a type [plist : nat -> Set].  Each [plist n] should be a list of [A]s, where it is guaranteed that at least [n] distinct elements satisfy [P].  There is wide latitude in choosing how to encode this.  You should try to avoid using subset types or any other mechanism based on annotating non-dependent types with propositions after-the-fact.#</li>#
  %\item%#<li># Define a version of list concatenation that works on [plist]s.  The type of this new function should express as much information as possible about the output [plist].#</li>#
  %\item%#<li># Define a function [plistOut] for translating [plist]s to normal [list]s.#</li>#
  %\item%#<li># Define a function [plistIn] for translating [list]s to [plist]s.  The type of [plistIn] should make it clear that the best bound on [P]-matching elements is chosen.  You may assume that you are given a dependently-typed function for deciding instances of [P].#</li>#
  %\item%#<li># Prove that, for any list [ls], [plistOut (plistIn ls) = ls].  This should be the only part of the exercise where you use tactic-based proving.#</li>#
  %\item%#<li># Define a function [grab : forall n (ls : plist (S n)), sig P].  That is, when given a [plist] guaranteed to contain at least one element satisfying [P], [grab] produces such an element.  [sig] is the type family of sigma types, and [sig P] is extensionally equivalent to [{x : A | P x}], though the latter form uses an eta-expansion of [P] instead of [P] itself as the predicate.#</li>#
