theory Ind_Interfaceimports "../Base" "../Parsing" Ind_Prelims Simple_Inductive_Packagebeginsection {* Parsing and Typing the Specification *}text {* To be able to write down the specification in Isabelle, we have to introduce a new command (see Section~\ref{sec:newcommand}). As the keyword for the new command we chose \simpleinductive{}. In the package we want to support some ``advanced'' features: First, we want that the package can cope with specifications inside locales. For example it should be possible to declare*}locale rel = fixes R :: "'a \<Rightarrow> 'a \<Rightarrow> bool"text {* and then define the transitive closure and the accessible part as follows:*}simple_inductive (in rel) trcl' where base: "trcl' x x"| step: "trcl' x y \<Longrightarrow> R y z \<Longrightarrow> trcl' x z"simple_inductive (in rel) accpart'where accpartI: "(\<And>y. R y x \<Longrightarrow> accpart' y) \<Longrightarrow> accpart' x"text {* Second, we want that the user can specify fixed parameters. Remember in the previous section we stated that the user can give the specification for the transitive closure of a relation @{text R} as *}simple_inductive trcl\<iota>\<iota> :: "('a \<Rightarrow> 'a \<Rightarrow> bool) \<Rightarrow> 'a \<Rightarrow> 'a \<Rightarrow> bool"where base: "trcl\<iota>\<iota> R x x"| step: "trcl\<iota>\<iota> R x y \<Longrightarrow> R y z \<Longrightarrow> trcl\<iota>\<iota> R x z"text {* Note that there is no locale given in this specification---the parameter @{text "R"} therefore needs to be included explicitly in @{term trcl\<iota>\<iota>}, but stays fixed throughout the specification. The problem with this way of stating the specification for the transitive closure is that it derives the following induction principle. \begin{center}\small \mprset{flushleft} \mbox{\inferrule{ @{thm_style prem1 trcl\<iota>\<iota>.induct[where P=P, where z=R, where za=x, where zb=y]}\\\\ @{thm_style prem2 trcl\<iota>\<iota>.induct[where P=P, where z=R, where za=x, where zb=y]}\\\\ @{thm_style prem3 trcl\<iota>\<iota>.induct[where P=P, where z=R, where za=x, where zb=y]}} {@{thm_style concl trcl\<iota>\<iota>.induct[where P=P, where z=R, where za=x, where zb=y]}}} \end{center} But this does not correspond to the induction principle we derived by hand, which was \begin{center}\small \mprset{flushleft} \mbox{\inferrule{ @{thm_style prem1 trcl_induct[no_vars]}\\\\ @{thm_style prem2 trcl_induct[no_vars]}\\\\ @{thm_style prem3 trcl_induct[no_vars]}} {@{thm_style concl trcl_induct[no_vars]}}} \end{center} The difference is that in the one derived by hand the relation @{term R} is not a parameter of the proposition @{term P} to be proved and it is also not universally qunatified in the second and third premise. The point is that the parameter @{term R} stays fixed thoughout the definition and we do not want to regard it as an ``ordinary'' argument of the transitive closure, but one that can be freely instantiated. In order to recognise such parameters, we have to extend the specification to include a mechanism to state fixed parameters. The user should be able to write *}simple_inductive trcl'' for R :: "'a \<Rightarrow> 'a \<Rightarrow> bool"where base: "trcl'' R x x"| step: "trcl'' R x y \<Longrightarrow> R y z \<Longrightarrow> trcl'' R x z"simple_inductive accpart'' for R :: "'a \<Rightarrow> 'a \<Rightarrow> bool"where accpartI: "(\<And>y. R y x \<Longrightarrow> accpart'' R y) \<Longrightarrow> accpart'' R x"text {* \begin{figure}[t] \begin{isabelle} \railnontermfont{\rmfamily\itshape} \railterm{simpleinductive,where,for} \railalias{simpleinductive}{\simpleinductive{}} \railalias{where}{\isacommand{where}} \railalias{for}{\isacommand{for}} \begin{rail} simpleinductive target? fixes (for fixes)? \\ (where (thmdecl? prop + '|'))? ; \end{rail} \end{isabelle} \caption{A railroad diagram describing the syntax of \simpleinductive{}.

This diagram more or less translates directly into the parser: @{ML_chunk [display,gray] parser} which we described in Section~\ref{sec:parsingspecs}. If we feed into the parser the string (which corresponds to our definition of @{term even} and @{term odd}): @{ML_response [display,gray]"let val input = filtered_input (\"even and odd \" ^ \"where \" ^ \" even0[intro]: \\\"even 0\\\" \" ^ \"| evenS[intro]: \\\"odd n \<Longrightarrow> even (Suc n)\\\" \" ^ \"| oddS[intro]: \\\"even n \<Longrightarrow> odd (Suc n)\\\"\")in parse spec_parser inputend""((((NONE, [(even, NONE, NoSyn), (odd, NONE, NoSyn)]), []), [((even0,\<dots>), \"\\^E\\^Ftoken\\^Eeven 0\\^E\\^F\\^E\"), ((evenS,\<dots>), \"\\^E\\^Ftoken\\^Eodd n \<Longrightarrow> even (Suc n)\\^E\\^F\\^E\"), ((oddS,\<dots>), \"\\^E\\^Ftoken\\^Eeven n \<Longrightarrow> odd (Suc n)\\^E\\^F\\^E\")]), [])"}*}text {* then we get back a locale (in this case @{ML NONE}), the predicates (with type and syntax annotations), the parameters (similar as the predicates) and the specifications of the introduction rules. This is all the information we need for calling the package and setting up the keyword. The latter is done in Lines 6 and 7 in the code below. @{ML_chunk [display,gray,linenos] syntax} We call @{ML OuterSyntax.command} with the kind-indicator @{ML OuterKeyword.thy_decl} since the package does not need to open up any goal state (see Section~\ref{sec:newcommand}). Note that the predicates and parameters are at the moment only some ``naked'' variables: they have no type yet (even if we annotate them with types) and they are also no defined constants yet (which the predicates will eventually be). In Lines 1 to 4 we gather the information from the parser to be processed further. The locale is passed as argument to the function @{ML Toplevel.local_theory}.\footnote{FIXME Is this already described?} The other arguments, i.e.~the predicates, parameters and intro rule specifications, are passed to the function @{ML add_inductive in SimpleInductivePackage} (Line 4). We now come to the second subtask of the package, namely transforming the parser output into some internal datastructures that can be processed further. Remember that at the moment the introduction rules are just strings, and even if the predicates and parameters can contain some typing annotations, they are not yet in any way reflected in the introduction rules. So the task of @{ML add_inductive in SimpleInductivePackage} is to transform the strings into properly typed terms. For this it can use the function @{ML read_specification in Specification}. This function takes some constants with possible typing annotations and some rule specifications and attempts to find a type according to the given type constraints and the type constraints by the surrounding (local theory). However this function is a bit too general for our purposes: we want that each introduction rule has only name (for example @{text even0} or @{text evenS}), if a name is given at all. The function @{ML read_specification in Specification} however allows more than one rule. Since it is quite convenient to rely on this function (instead of building your own) we just quick ly write a wrapper function that translates between our specific format and the general format expected by @{ML read_specification in Specification}. The code of this wrapper is as follows: @{ML_chunk [display,gray,linenos] read_specification} It takes a list of constants, a list of rule specifications and a local theory as input. Does the transformation of the rule specifications in Line 3; calls the function and transforms the now typed rule specifications back into our format and returns the type parameter and typed rule specifications. @{ML_chunk [display,gray,linenos] add_inductive} In order to add a new inductive predicate to a theory with the help of our package, the user must \emph{invoke} it. For every package, there are essentially two different ways of invoking it, which we will refer to as \emph{external} and \emph{internal}. By external invocation we mean that the package is called from within a theory document. In this case, the specification of the inductive predicate, including type annotations and introduction rules, are given as strings by the user. Before the package can actually make the definition, the type and introduction rules have to be parsed. In contrast, internal invocation means that the package is called by some other package. For example, the function definition package calls the inductive definition package to define the graph of the function. However, it is not a good idea for the function definition package to pass the introduction rules for the function graph to the inductive definition package as strings. In this case, it is better to directly pass the rules to the package as a list of terms, which is more robust than handling strings that are lacking the additional structure of terms. These two ways of invoking the package are reflected in its ML programming interface, which consists of two functions: @{ML_chunk [display,gray] SIMPLE_INDUCTIVE_PACKAGE}*}text {* (FIXME: explain Binding.binding; Attrib.binding somewhere else) The function for external invocation of the package is called @{ML add_inductive in SimpleInductivePackage}, whereas the one for internal invocation is called @{ML add_inductive_i in SimpleInductivePackage}. Both of these functions take as arguments the names and types of the inductive predicates, the names and types of their parameters, the actual introduction rules and a \emph{local theory}. They return a local theory containing the definition and the induction principle as well introduction rules. Note that @{ML add_inductive_i in SimpleInductivePackage} expects the types of the predicates and parameters to be specified using the datatype @{ML_type typ} of Isabelle's logical framework, whereas @{ML add_inductive in SimpleInductivePackage} expects them to be given as optional strings. If no string is given for a particular predicate or parameter, this means that the type should be inferred by the package. Additional \emph{mixfix syntax} may be associated with the predicates and parameters as well. Note that @{ML add_inductive_i in SimpleInductivePackage} does not allow mixfix syntax to be associated with parameters, since it can only be used for parsing.\footnote{FIXME: why ist it there then?} The names of the predicates, parameters and rules are represented by the type @{ML_type Binding.binding}. Strings can be turned into elements of the type @{ML_type Binding.binding} using the function @{ML [display] "Binding.name : string -> Binding.binding"} Each introduction rule is given as a tuple containing its name, a list of \emph{attributes} and a logical formula. Note that the type @{ML_type Attrib.binding} used in the list of introduction rules is just a shorthand for the type @{ML_type "Binding.binding * Attrib.src list"}. The function @{ML add_inductive_i in SimpleInductivePackage} expects the formula to be specified using the datatype @{ML_type term}, whereas @{ML add_inductive in SimpleInductivePackage} expects it to be given as a string. An attribute specifies additional actions and transformations that should be applied to a theorem, such as storing it in the rule databases used by automatic tactics like the simplifier. The code of the package, which will be described in the following section, will mostly treat attributes as a black box and just forward them to other functions for storing theorems in local theories. The implementation of the function @{ML add_inductive in SimpleInductivePackage} for external invocation of the package is quite simple. Essentially, it just parses the introduction rules and then passes them on to @{ML add_inductive_i in SimpleInductivePackage}: @{ML_chunk [display] add_inductive} For parsing and type checking the introduction rules, we use the function @{ML [display] "Specification.read_specification: (Binding.binding * string option * mixfix) list -> (*{variables}*) (Attrib.binding * string list) list list -> (*{rules}*) local_theory -> (((Binding.binding * typ) * mixfix) list * (Attrib.binding * term list) list) * local_theory"}*}text {* During parsing, both predicates and parameters are treated as variables, so the lists \verb!preds_syn! and \verb!params_syn! are just appended before being passed to @{ML read_specification in Specification}. Note that the format for rules supported by @{ML read_specification in Specification} is more general than what is required for our package. It allows several rules to be associated with one name, and the list of rules can be partitioned into several sublists. In order for the list \verb!intro_srcs! of introduction rules to be acceptable as an input for @{ML read_specification in Specification}, we first have to turn it into a list of singleton lists. This transformation has to be reversed later on by applying the function @{ML [display] "the_single: 'a list -> 'a"} to the list \verb!specs! containing the parsed introduction rules. The function @{ML read_specification in Specification} also returns the list \verb!vars! of predicates and parameters that contains the inferred types as well. This list has to be chopped into the two lists \verb!preds_syn'! and \verb!params_syn'! for predicates and parameters, respectively. All variables occurring in a rule but not in the list of variables passed to @{ML read_specification in Specification} will be bound by a meta-level universal quantifier.*}text {* Finally, @{ML read_specification in Specification} also returns another local theory, but we can safely discard it. As an example, let us look at how we can use this function to parse the introduction rules of the @{text trcl} predicate: @{ML_response [display]"Specification.read_specification [(Binding.name \"trcl\", NONE, NoSyn), (Binding.name \"r\", SOME \"'a \<Rightarrow> 'a \<Rightarrow> bool\", NoSyn)] [[((Binding.name \"base\", []), [\"trcl r x x\"])], [((Binding.name \"step\", []), [\"trcl r x y \<Longrightarrow> r y z \<Longrightarrow> trcl r x z\"])]] @{context}""((\<dots>, [(\<dots>, [Const (\"all\", \<dots>) $ Abs (\"x\", TFree (\"'a\", \<dots>), Const (\"Trueprop\", \<dots>) $ (Free (\"trcl\", \<dots>) $ Free (\"r\", \<dots>) $ Bound 0 $ Bound 0))]), (\<dots>, [Const (\"all\", \<dots>) $ Abs (\"x\", TFree (\"'a\", \<dots>), Const (\"all\", \<dots>) $ Abs (\"y\", TFree (\"'a\", \<dots>), Const (\"all\", \<dots>) $ Abs (\"z\", TFree (\"'a\", \<dots>), Const (\"==>\", \<dots>) $ (Const (\"Trueprop\", \<dots>) $ (Free (\"trcl\", \<dots>) $ Free (\"r\", \<dots>) $ Bound 2 $ Bound 1)) $ (Const (\"==>\", \<dots>) $ \<dots> $ \<dots>))))])]), \<dots>): (((Binding.binding * typ) * mixfix) list * (Attrib.binding * term list) list) * local_theory"} In the list of variables passed to @{ML read_specification in Specification}, we have used the mixfix annotation @{ML NoSyn} to indicate that we do not want to associate any mixfix syntax with the variable. Moreover, we have only specified the type of \texttt{r}, whereas the type of \texttt{trcl} is computed using type inference. The local variables \texttt{x}, \texttt{y} and \texttt{z} of the introduction rules are turned into bound variables with the de Bruijn indices, whereas \texttt{trcl} and \texttt{r} remain free variables.*}text {* \paragraph{Parsers for theory syntax} Although the function @{ML add_inductive in SimpleInductivePackage} parses terms and types, it still cannot be used to invoke the package directly from within a theory document. In order to do this, we have to write another parser. Before we describe the process of writing parsers for theory syntax in more detail, we first show some examples of how we would like to use the inductive definition package. The definition of the transitive closure should look as follows:*}text {* A proposition can be parsed using the function @{ML prop in OuterParse}. Essentially, a proposition is just a string or an identifier, but using the specific parser function @{ML prop in OuterParse} leads to more instructive error messages, since the parser will complain that a proposition was expected when something else than a string or identifier is found. An optional locale target specification of the form \isa{(\isacommand{in}\ $\ldots$)} can be parsed using @{ML opt_target in OuterParse}. The lists of names of the predicates and parameters, together with optional types and syntax, are parsed using the functions @{ML "fixes" in OuterParse} and @{ML for_fixes in OuterParse}, respectively. In addition, the following function from @{ML_struct SpecParse} for parsing an optional theorem name and attribute, followed by a delimiter, will be useful: \begin{table} @{ML "opt_thm_name: string -> token list -> Attrib.binding * token list" in SpecParse} \end{table} We now have all the necessary tools to write the parser for our \isa{\isacommand{simple{\isacharunderscore}inductive}} command: Once all arguments of the command have been parsed, we apply the function @{ML add_inductive in SimpleInductivePackage}, which yields a local theory transformer of type @{ML_type "local_theory -> local_theory"}. Commands in Isabelle/Isar are realized by transition transformers of type @{ML_type [display] "Toplevel.transition -> Toplevel.transition"} We can turn a local theory transformer into a transition transformer by using the function @{ML [display] "Toplevel.local_theory : string option -> (local_theory -> local_theory) -> Toplevel.transition -> Toplevel.transition"} which, apart from the local theory transformer, takes an optional name of a locale to be used as a basis for the local theory. (FIXME : needs to be adjusted to new parser type) {\it The whole parser for our command has type @{text [display] "OuterLex.token list -> (Toplevel.transition -> Toplevel.transition) * OuterLex.token list"} which is abbreviated by @{text OuterSyntax.parser_fn}. The new command can be added to the system via the function @{text [display] "OuterSyntax.command : string -> string -> OuterKeyword.T -> OuterSyntax.parser_fn -> unit"} which imperatively updates the parser table behind the scenes. } In addition to the parser, this function takes two strings representing the name of the command and a short description, as well as an element of type @{ML_type OuterKeyword.T} describing which \emph{kind} of command we intend to add. Since we want to add a command for declaring new concepts, we choose the kind @{ML "OuterKeyword.thy_decl"}. Other kinds include @{ML "OuterKeyword.thy_goal"}, which is similar to @{ML thy_decl in OuterKeyword}, but requires the user to prove a goal before making the declaration, or @{ML "OuterKeyword.diag"}, which corresponds to a purely diagnostic command that does not change the context. For example, the @{ML thy_goal in OuterKeyword} kind is used by the \isa{\isacommand{function}} command \cite{Krauss-IJCAR06}, which requires the user to prove that a given set of equations is non-overlapping and covers all cases. The kind of the command should be chosen with care, since selecting the wrong one can cause strange behaviour of the user interface, such as failure of the undo mechanism.*}text {* Note that the @{text trcl} predicate has two different kinds of parameters: the first parameter @{text R} stays \emph{fixed} throughout the definition, whereas the second and third parameter changes in the ``recursive call''. This will become important later on when we deal with fixed parameters and locales. The purpose of the package we show next is that the user just specifies the inductive predicate by stating some introduction rules and then the packages makes the equivalent definition and derives from it the needed properties.*}text {* From a high-level perspective the package consists of 6 subtasks:*}(*<*)end(*>*)
