That domain also provides a good setting for demonstrating how to apply the ideas from the earlier parts of this book. This part introduces some techniques for encoding the syntax and semantics of programming languages, along with some example proofs designed to be as practical as possible, rather than to illustrate basic Coq technique. To prove anything about a language, we must first formalize the language's syntax. We have a broad design space to choose from, and it makes sense to start with the simplest options, so-called %\textit{%#<i>#first-order#</i>#%}% syntax encodings that do not use dependent types. These encodings are first-order because they do not use Coq function types in a critical way. In this chapter, we consider the most popular first-order encodings, using each to prove a basic type soundness theorem. *) (** * Concrete Binding *) (** The most obvious encoding of the syntax of programming languages follows usual context-free grammars literally. We represent variables as strings and include a variable in our AST definition wherever a variable appears in the informal grammar. Concrete binding turns out to involve a surprisingly large amount of menial bookkeeping, especially when we encode higher-order languages with nested binder scopes. This section's example should give a flavor of what is required. *) Module Concrete. (** We need our variable type and its decidable equality operation. *) Definition var := string. Definition var_eq := string_dec. (** We will formalize basic simply-typed lambda calculus. The syntax of expressions and types follows what we would write in a context-free grammar. *) Inductive exp : Set := | Const : bool -> exp | Var : var -> exp | App : exp -> exp -> exp | Abs : var -> exp -> exp. Inductive type : Set := | Bool : type | Arrow : type -> type -> type. (** It is useful to define a syntax extension that lets us write function types in more standard notation. *) (** printing --> $\longrightarrow$ *) Infix "-->" := Arrow (right associativity, at level 60). (** Now we turn to a typing judgment. We will need to define it in terms of typing contexts, which we represent as lists of pairs of variables and types. *) Definition ctx := list (var * type). (** The definitions of our judgments will be prettier if we write them using mixfix syntax. To define a judgment for looking up the type of a variable in a context, we first %\textit{%#</i>#reserve#</i>#%}% a notation for the judgment. Reserved notations enable mutually-recursive definition of a judgment and its notation; in this sense, the reservation is like a forward declaration in C. *) (** printing |-v $\vdash_\mathsf{v}$ *) Reserved Notation "G |-v x : t" (no associativity, at level 90, x at next level). (** Now we define the judgment itself, for variable typing, using a [where] clause to associate a notation definition. *) Inductive lookup : ctx -> var -> type -> Prop := | First : forall x t G, (x, t) :: G |-v x : t | Next : forall x t x' t' G, x <> x' -> G |-v x : t -> (x', t') :: G |-v x : t where "G |-v x : t" := (lookup G x t). Hint Constructors lookup. (** The same technique applies to defining the main typing judgment. We use an [at next level] clause to cause the argument [e] of the notation to be parsed at a low enough precedence level. *) (** printing |-e $\vdash_\mathsf{e}$ *) Reserved Notation "G |-e e : t" (no associativity, at level 90, e at next level).

Hint Constructors step. (** The progress theorem says that any well-typed expression that is not a value can take a step.

(** This was a relatively simple example, giving only a taste of the proof burden associated with concrete syntax. We were helped by the fact that, with call-by-value semantics, we only need to reason about substitution in closed expressions. There was also no need to alpha-vary an expression. *) (** * De Bruijn Indices *) (** De Bruijn indices are much more popular than concrete syntax. This technique provides a %\textit{%#<i>#canonical#</i>#%}% representation of syntax, where any two alpha-equivalent expressions have syntactically equal encodings, removing the need for explicit reasoning about alpha conversion. Variables are represented as natural numbers, where variable [n] denotes a reference to the [n]th closest enclosing binder. Because variable references in effect point to binders, there is no need to label binders, such as function abstraction, with variables. *) Module DeBruijn. Definition var := nat.

(** * Locally Nameless Syntax *) (** The most popular Coq syntax encoding today is the %\textit{%#<i>#locally nameless#</i>#%}% style, which has been around for a while but was popularized recently by Aydemir et al., following a methodology summarized in their paper %``%#"#Engineering Formal Metatheory.#"#%''% #<a href="http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~plclub/oregon08/">#A specialized tutorial by that group#</a>#%\footnote{\url{http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~plclub/oregon08/}}% explains the approach, based on a library. In this section, we will build up all of the necessary ingredients from scratch. The one-sentence summary of locally nameless encoding is that we represent free variables as concrete syntax does, and we represent bound variables with de Bruijn indices. Many proofs involve reasoning about terms transplanted into different free variable contexts; concrete encoding of free variables means that, to perform such a transplanting, we need no fix-up operation to adjust de Bruijn indices. At the same time, use of de Bruijn indices for local variables gives us canonical representations of expressions, with respect to the usual convention of alpha-equivalence. This makes many operations, including substitution of open terms in open terms, easier to implement. The %``%#"#Engineering Formal Metatheory#"#%''% methodology involves a number of subtle design decisions, which we will describe as they appear in the latest version of our running example. *) Module LocallyNameless.

(** Note the different constructors for free vs. bound variables, and note that the lack of a variable annotation on [Abs] nodes is inherited from the de Bruijn convention. *) Inductive type : Set := | Bool : type | Arrow : type -> type -> type. Infix "-->" := Arrow (right associativity, at level 60). (** As typing only depends on types of free variables, our contexts borrow their form from the concrete binding example. *) Definition ctx := list (free_var * type). Reserved Notation "G |-v x : t" (no associativity, at level 90, x at next level). Inductive lookup : ctx -> free_var -> type -> Prop := | First : forall x t G, (x, t) :: G |-v x : t | Next : forall x t x' t' G, x <> x' -> G |-v x : t -> (x', t') :: G |-v x : t where "G |-v x : t" := (lookup G x t). Hint Constructors lookup. (** The first unusual operation we need is %\textit{%#<i>#opening#</i>#%}%, where we replace a particular bound variable with a particular free variable. Whenever we %``%#"#go under a binder,#"#%''% in the typing judgment or elsewhere, we choose a new free variable to replace the old bound variable of the binder. Opening implements the replacement of one by the other. It is like a specialized version of the substitution function we used for pure de Bruijn terms. We implement opening with both the richly-typed natural number equality test [eq_nat_dec] that we have discussed previously and with another standard library function [le_lt_dec], which is an analogous richly-typed test for [<=]. *) Section open. Variable x : free_var. Fixpoint open (n : bound_var) (e : exp) : exp := match e with | Const _ => e | FreeVar _ => e | BoundVar n' => if eq_nat_dec n' n then FreeVar x else if le_lt_dec n' n then e else BoundVar (pred n') | App e1 e2 => App (open n e1) (open n e2) | Abs e1 => Abs (open (S n) e1) end. End open. (** We will also need to reason about an expression's set of free variables. To keep things simple, we represent sets as lists that may contain duplicates. Note how much easier this operation is to implement than over pure de Bruijn terms, since we do not need to maintain a separate numeric argument that keeps track of how deeply we have descended into the input expression. *) Fixpoint freeVars (e : exp) : list free_var := match e with | Const _ => nil | FreeVar x => x :: nil | BoundVar _ => nil | App e1 e2 => freeVars e1 ++ freeVars e2 | Abs e1 => freeVars e1 end.

An alternate, more intuitive version of the rule would fix [L] to be [freeVars e']. It turns out that the greater flexibility of the rule above simplifies many proofs significantly. This typing judgment may be proved equivalent to the more intuitive version, though we will not carry out the proof here.
