In this chapter, we are going to describe the bit-coded algorithm
|
|
|
12 |
introduced by Sulzmann and Lu \parencite{Sulzmann2014} to address the growth problem of
|
|
624
|
13 |
derivatives of
|
|
564
|
14 |
regular expressions.
|
|
624
|
15 |
We have implemented their algorithm in Scala and Isabelle,
|
|
|
16 |
and found problems
|
|
579
|
17 |
in their algorithm such as de-duplication not working properly and redundant
|
|
624
|
18 |
fixpoint construction.

\section{The Motivation Behind Using Bitcodes}
|
|
624
|
20 |
Let us give again the definition of $\lexer$ from Chapter \ref{Inj}:
|
|
579
|
21 |
\begin{center}
|
|
|
22 |
\begin{tabular}{lcl}
|
|
|
23 |
$\lexer \; r \; [] $ & $=$ & $\textit{if} \; (\nullable \; r)\; \textit{then}\; \Some(\mkeps \; r) \; \textit{else} \; \None$\\
|
|
|
24 |
$\lexer \; r \;c::s$ & $=$ & $\textit{case}\; (\lexer \; (r\backslash c) \; s) \;\textit{of}\; $\\
|
|
|
25 |
& & $\quad \phantom{\mid}\; \None \implies \None$\\
|
|
|
26 |
& & $\quad \mid \Some(v) \implies \Some(\inj \; r\; c\; v)$
|
|
|
27 |
\end{tabular}
|
|
|
28 |
\end{center}
|
|
|
29 |
\noindent
|
|
624
|
30 |
The first problem with this algorithm is that
|
|
|
31 |
for the function $\inj$ to work properly
|
|
|
32 |
we cannot destroy the structure of a regular expression,
|
|
638
|
33 |
and therefore cannot simplify too aggressively.
|
|
624
|
34 |
For example,
|
|
|
35 |
\[
|
|
|
36 |
r + (r + a) \rightarrow r + a
|
|
|
37 |
\]
|
|
638
|
38 |
cannot be applied because that would require
|
|
624
|
39 |
breaking up the inner alternative.
|
|
638
|
40 |
The $\lexer$ plus $\textit{simp}$ therefore only enables
|
|
624
|
41 |
same-level de-duplications like
|
|
|
42 |
\[
|
|
|
43 |
r + r \rightarrow r.
|
|
|
44 |
\]
|
|
|
45 |
Secondly, the algorithm recursively calls $\lexer$ on
|
|
579
|
46 |
each new character input,
|
|
|
47 |
and before starting a child call
|
|
|
48 |
it stores information of previous lexing steps
|
|
|
49 |
on a stack, in the form of regular expressions
|
|
|
50 |
and characters: $r_0$, $c_0$, $r_1$, $c_1$, etc.
|
|
|
51 |
Each descent into deeper recursive calls in $\lexer$
|
|
|
52 |
causes a new pair of $r_i, c_i$ to be pushed to the call stack.

Storing all $r_i, c_{i+1}$ pairs recursively
|
|
|
313 |
allows the algorithm to work in an elegant way, at the expense of
|
|
624
|
314 |
storing quite a bit of verbose information on the stack.
|
|
|
315 |
The stack seems to grow at least quadratically with respect
|
|
580
|
316 |
to the input (not taking into account the size bloat of $r_i$),
|
|
624
|
317 |
which can be inefficient and prone to stack overflows.
|

|
318 |
\section{Bitcoded Algorithm}
|
|
|
319 |
To address this,
|
|
624
|
320 |
Sulzmann and Lu defined a new datatype
|
|
580
|
321 |
called \emph{annotated regular expression},
|
|
|
322 |
which condenses all the partial lexing information
|
|
|
323 |
(that was originally stored in $r_i, c_{i+1}$ pairs)
|
|
|
324 |
into bitcodes.
|
|
581
|
325 |
The bitcodes are then carried with the regular
|
|
|
326 |
expression, and augmented or moved around
|
|
638
|
327 |
as the lexing proceeds.
|
|
581
|
328 |
It becomes unnecessary
|
|
|
329 |
to remember all the
|
|
|
330 |
intermediate expresssions, but only the most recent one
|
|
|
331 |
with this bit-carrying regular expression.
|
|
580
|
332 |
Annotated regular expressions
|
|
|
333 |
are defined as the following
|
|
638
|
334 |
Isabelle datatype:\footnote{ We use subscript notation to indicate
|
|
580
|
335 |
that the bitcodes are auxiliary information that do not
|
|
638
|
336 |
interfere with the structure of the regular expressions }
|
|
580
|
337 |
\begin{center}
|
|
|
338 |
\begin{tabular}{lcl}
|
|
|
339 |
$\textit{a}$ & $::=$ & $\ZERO$\\
|
|
|
340 |
& $\mid$ & $_{bs}\ONE$\\
|
|
|
341 |
& $\mid$ & $_{bs}{\bf c}$\\
|
|
|
342 |
& $\mid$ & $_{bs}\sum\,as$\\
|
|
|
343 |
& $\mid$ & $_{bs}a_1\cdot a_2$\\
|
|
|
344 |
& $\mid$ & $_{bs}a^*$
|
|
|
345 |
\end{tabular}
|
|
|
346 |
\end{center}
|
|
|
347 |
\noindent
|
|
|
348 |
where $bs$ stands for bit-codes, $a$ for $\mathbf{a}$nnotated regular
|
|
|
349 |
expressions and $as$ for lists of annotated regular expressions.
|
|
638
|
350 |
The alternative constructor, written $\sum$, has been generalised to
|
|
624
|
351 |
take a list of annotated regular expressions rather than just two.
|
|
|
352 |
Why is it generalised? This is because when we analyse nested
|
|
|
353 |
alternatives, there can be more than two elements at the same level
|
|
580
|
354 |
after de-duplication, which can no longer be stored in a binary
|
|
|
355 |
constructor.
|
|
|
356 |
Bits and bitcodes (lists of bits) are defined as:
|
|
|
357 |
\begin{center}
|
|
|
358 |
$b ::= S \mid Z \qquad
|
|
|
359 |
bs ::= [] \mid b::bs
|
|
|
360 |
$
|
|
|
361 |
\end{center}
|
|
|
362 |
\noindent
|
|
|
363 |
We use $S$ and $Z$ rather than $1$ and $0$ is to avoid
|
|
|
364 |
confusion with the regular expressions $\ZERO$ and $\ONE$.
|
|
624
|
365 |
The idea is to use the bitcodes
|
|
580
|
366 |
to indicate which choice was made at a certain point
|
|
|
367 |
during lexing.
|
|
|
368 |
For example,
|
|
|
369 |
$(_{Z}a+_{S}b) \backslash a$ gives us
|
|
624
|
370 |
$_{Z}\ONE + \ZERO$, where the $Z$ bitcode will
|
|
580
|
371 |
later be used to decode that a left branch was
|
|
638
|
372 |
selected at the time when the part $a+b$ was analysed by
|
|
624
|
373 |
derivative.

|
|
580

376 |
related to our
|
|
|
377 |

The plain regular expressions
|
|
|
462 |
are first ``lifted'' to an annotated regular expression,
|
|
624
|
463 |
with the function called \emph{internalise} ($r \rightarrow _{bs}a$).
|
|
580
|
464 |
Then the annotated regular expression $_{bs}a$ will
|
|
624
|
465 |
be transformed by successive derivatives with respect
|
|
580
|
466 |
to the input stream of characters $c_1, c_2$ etc.
|
|
|
467 |
Each time a derivative is taken, the bitcodes
|
|
|
468 |
are moved around, discarded or augmented together
|
|
|
469 |
with the regular expression they are attached to.
|
|
|
470 |
After all input has been consumed, the
|
|
|
471 |
bitcodes are collected by $\bmkeps$,
|
|
|
472 |
which traverses the nullable part of the regular expression
|
|
624
|
473 |
and collects the bitcodes along the way.
|
|
580
|
474 |
The collected bitcodes are then $\decode$d with the guidance
|
|
624
|
475 |
of the input regular expression $r$ ( $_{bs}a \rightarrow r$).
|
|
580
|
476 |
The most notable improvements of $\blexer$
|
|
|
477 |
over $\lexer$ are
|
|
|
478 |
\begin{itemize}
|
|
|
479 |
\item
|
|
|
480 |
|
|
638
|
481 |
the absence of the second injection phase.
|
|
580
|
482 |
\item
|
|
638
|
483 |
one does not need to store each pair of the
|
|
580
|
484 |
intermediate regular expressions $_{bs_i}a_i$ and $c_{i+1}$.
|
|
|
485 |
The previous annotated regular expression $_{bs_i}a_i$'s information is passed
|
|
|
486 |
on without loss to its successor $_{bs_{i+1}}a_{i+1}$,
|
|
624
|
487 |
and $c_{i+1}$'s information is stored in $L\;r$.\footnote{
|
|
|
488 |
which will be used during the decode phase, where we use $r$ as
|
|
|
489 |
a source of information.}
|
|
580
|
490 |
\item
|
|
638
|
491 |
simplification works much smoother--one can maintain correctness
|
|
624
|
492 |
while applying quite aggressive simplifications.
|
|
580
|
493 |

\subsection{Operations in $\textit{Blexer}$}
|
|
|
498 |
The first operation we define related to bit-coded regular expressions
|
|
|
499 |
is how we move bits to the inside of regular expressions.
|
|
624
|
500 |
This operation is called $\fuse$:
|
|
580
|
501 |
\begin{center}
|
|
|

\begin{tabular}{lcl}

|
|
|
504 |
$\textit{fuse}\;bs\; (_{bs'})\ONE$ & $\dn$ &
|
|
580
|
505 |
$_{bs @ bs'}\ONE$\\
|
|
624
|
506 |
$\textit{fuse}\;bs\;(_{bs'}{\bf c})$ & $\dn$ &
|
|
580
|
507 |
$_{bs@bs'}{\bf c}$\\
|
|
624
|
508 |
$\textit{fuse}\;bs\;(_{bs'}\sum\textit{as})$ & $\dn$ &
|
|
580
|
509 |
$_{bs@bs'}\sum\textit{as}$\\
|
|
624
|
510 |
$\textit{fuse}\;bs\; (_{bs'}a_1\cdot a_2)$ & $\dn$ &
|
|
580
|
511 |
$_{bs@bs'}a_1 \cdot a_2$\\
|
|
624
|
512 |
$\textit{fuse}\;bs\;(_{bs'}a^*)$ & $\dn$ &
|
|
580
|
513 |
$_{bs @ bs'}a^*$
|
|
|
514 |
\end{tabular}

\end{center}
|
|
|
516 |
|
|
|
517 |
\noindent
|
|
624
|
518 |
With \emph{fuse} we are able to define the $\internalise$ function,
|
|
|
519 |
written $(\_)^\uparrow$,
|
|
580
|
520 |
that translates a ``standard'' regular expression into an
|
|
|
521 |
annotated regular expression.
|
|
|
522 |
This function will be applied before we start
|
|
|
523 |
with the derivative phase of the algorithm.
|

|
524 |
|
|
|
525 |

|
528 |
$(\ONE)^\uparrow$ & $\dn$ & $_{[]}\ONE$\\
|
|
|
529 |
$(c)^\uparrow$ & $\dn$ & $_{[]}{\bf c}$\\
|
|

530 |
$(r_1 + r_2)^\uparrow$ & $\dn$ &
|

531 |

$(r^*)^\uparrow$ & $\dn$ &
|
|

536 |
$_{[]}(r^\uparrow)^*$\\

|
538 |

539 |
\noindent
|
|
|
540 |
The opposite of $\textit{internalise}$ is
|
|
624
|
541 |
$\erase$, where all bit-codes are removed,
|
|
580
|
542 |
and the alternative operator $\sum$ for annotated
|
|
|
543 |
regular expressions is transformed to the binary version
|
|
624
|
544 |
in (plain) regular expressions. This can be defined as follows:

Determining whether an annotated regular expression
|
|
638
|
564 |
contains the empty string in its language requires
|
|
580
|
565 |
a dedicated function $\bnullable$.
|
|
624
|
566 |
In our formalisation this function is defined by simply calling $\erase$
|
|
|
567 |
before $\nullable$.

|

|
568 |

The function for collecting
|
|
|
572 |
bitcodes from a
|
|
|
573 |
(b)nullable regular expression is called $\bmkeps$.
|
|
624
|
574 |
This function is a lifted version of the $\textit{mkeps}$ function,
|
|
580
|
575 |
which follows the path $\mkeps$ takes to traverse the
|
|
|
576 |
$\nullable$ branches when visiting a regular expression,
|
|
624
|
577 |
but collects bitcodes instead of generating a value.

This function, just like $\mkeps$,
|
|
581
|
593 |
visits a regular expression tree respecting
|
|
624
|
594 |
the POSIX rules.
|
|
581
|
595 |
It traverses each child of the sequence regular expression
|
|
|
596 |
from left to right and creates a bitcode by stitching
|
|
|
597 |
together bitcodes obtained from the children expressions.
|
|
|
598 |
In the case of alternative regular expressions,
|
|
|
599 |
it looks for the leftmost
|
|
|
600 |
$\nullable$ branch
|
|
638
|
601 |
to visit and ignores the other siblings.
|
|
581
|
602 |
%Whenever there is some bitcodes attached to a
|
|
|
603 |
%node, it returns the bitcodes concatenated with whatever
|
|
|
604 |
%child recursive calls return.
|
|
|
605 |
The only time when $\bmkeps$ creates new bitcodes
|
|
|
606 |
is when it completes a star's iterations by attaching a $S$ to the end of the bitcode

607 |
list it returns.

The bitcodes extracted by $\bmkeps$ need to be

$\decode$d (with the guidance of a ``plain'' regular expression):

The function $\decode'$ returns a pair consisting of
|
|
624
|
640 |
a partially decoded value and some leftover bit-list.
|
|
580
|
641 |
The function $\decode'$ succeeds if the left-over
|
|
|
642 |
bit-sequence is empty.
|
|
624

643 |

644 |
%$\decode$ is terminating as $\decode'$ is terminating.
|
|
|
645 |
%$\decode'$ is terminating
|
|
|
646 |
%because at least one of $\decode'$'s parameters will go down in terms
|
|
|
647 |
%of size.\\
|
|
580
|
648 |
The reverse operation of $\decode$ is $\code$.
|
|
624
|
649 |
This function encodes a value into a bitcode by converting
|
|
580
|
650 |
$\Left$ into $Z$, $\Right$ into $S$, and marks the start of any non-empty
|
|
|
651 |
star iteration by $S$. The border where a star iteration
|
|
|
652 |
terminates is marked by $Z$.
|
|
|
653 |
This coding is lossy, as it throws away the information about
|
|
|
654 |
characters, and does not encode the ``boundary'' between two
|
|
|
655 |
sequence values. Moreover, with only the bitcode we cannot even tell
|
|
624
|
656 |
whether the $S$s and $Z$s are for $\Left/\Right$ or $\Stars$,
|
|
638
|
657 |
but this will not be necessary in our correctness proof.

We can prove that given a value $v$ and regular expression $r$
|
|
580
|
672 |
with $\vdash v:r$,
|
|
|
673 |
then we have the property that $\decode$ and $\code$ are
|
|
|
674 |
reverse operations of one another:
|
|
|
675 |
\begin{lemma}
|
|
|
676 |
\[If \vdash v : r \; then \;\decode \; (\code \; v) \; r = \textit{Some}(v) \]
|
|
|
677 |
\end{lemma}
|
|
|
678 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
679 |
By proving a more general version of the lemma, on $\decode'$:
|
|
|
680 |
\[\vdash v : r \implies \decode' \; ((\code \; v) @ ds) \; r = (v, ds) \]
|
|
|
681 |
Then setting $ds$ to be $[]$ and unfolding $\decode$ definition,
|
|
|
682 |
we obtain the property.

Now we define the central part of Sulzmann and Lu's second lexing algorithm,

For $\bder \; c\; a$, we use the infix notation $a\backslash c$ for readability.
|
|
624
|
708 |
The $\bder$ function tells us how regular expressions can be recursively traversed,
|
|
580
|
709 |
where the bitcodes are augmented and carried around
|
|
|
710 |
when a derivative is taken.
|
|
|
711 |
We give the intuition behind some of the more involved cases in
|
|
638
|
712 |
$\bder$.
|
|
|
713 |
|
|
580
|
714 |
For example,
|
|
|
715 |
in the \emph{star} case,
|
|
624
|
716 |
a derivative of $_{bs}a^*$ means
|
|
|
717 |
that one more star iteration needs to be taken.
|
|
|
718 |
We therefore need to unfold it into a sequence,
|
|
|
719 |
and attach an additional bit $Z$ to the front of $a \backslash c$
|
|
580
|
720 |
as a record to indicate one new star iteration is unfolded.

Another place the $\bder$ function differs
|
|
624
|
778 |
from derivatives on regular expressions
|
|
580

779 |
is the sequence case:

\begin{center}

%We assume that $\bmkeps$
|
|
|
792 |
%correctly extracts the bitcode for how $a_1$
|
|
|
793 |
%matches the string prior to $c$ (more on this later).
|
|
|
794 |
%The bitsequence $\textit{bs}$ which was initially
|
|
|
795 |
%attached to the first element of the sequence
|
|
|
796 |
%$a_1 \cdot a_2$, has now been
|
|
|
797 |
%elevated to the top level of the $\sum$ constructor.
|
|
|
798 |
%This is because this piece of information will be needed
|
|
|
799 |
%whichever way the sequence is matched,
|
|
|
800 |
%regardless of whether $c$ belongs to $a_1$ or $a_2$.
|
|
|
801 |
The difference mainly lies in the $\textit{if}$ branch (when $a_1$ is $\bnullable$):
|
|
580
|
802 |
we use $\bmkeps$ to store the lexing information
|
|
|
803 |
in $a_1$ before collapsing
|
|
|
804 |
it (as it has been fully matched by string prior to $c$),
|
|
|
805 |
and attach the collected bit-codes to the front of $a_2$
|
|
624
|
806 |
before throwing away $a_1$.
|
|
580
|
807 |
In the injection-based lexer, $r_1$ is immediately thrown away in
|
|
638
|
808 |
the $\textit{if}$ branch,
|
|
624
|
809 |
the information $r_1$ stores is therefore lost:

827 |
The rest of the clauses of $\bder$ is rather similar to
|
|
|
828 |
$\der$. \\
|
|
|
829 |
Generalising the derivative operation with bitcodes to strings, we have
|
|
|
830 |
\begin{center}
|
|
|
831 |
\begin{tabular}{@{}lcl@{}}
|
|
|
832 |
$a\backslash_s [] $ & $\dn$ & $a$\\
|
|
|
833 |
$a\backslash (c :: s) $ & $\dn$ & $(a \backslash c) \backslash_s s$
|
|
|
834 |
\end{tabular}
|
|
|
835 |
\end{center}
|
|
|
836 |
\noindent
|
|
|
837 |
As we did earlier, we omit the $s$ subscript at $\backslash_s$ when there is no danger
|
|
|
838 |
of confusion.
|
|
|
839 |
\subsection{Putting Things Together}
|
|
|
840 |
Putting these operations altogether, we obtain a lexer with bit-coded regular expressions
|
|
|
841 |
as its internal data structures, which we call $\blexer$:
|
|
|
842 |
|
|
|
843 |
\begin{center}
|
|
|
844 |
\begin{tabular}{lcl}
|
|
|
845 |
$\textit{blexer}\;r\,s$ & $\dn$ &
|
|
|
846 |
$\textit{let}\;a = (r^\uparrow)\backslash s\;\textit{in}$\\
|
|
|
847 |
& & $\;\;\textit{if}\; \textit{bnullable}(a)$\\
|
|
|
848 |
& & $\;\;\textit{then}\;\textit{decode}\,(\textit{bmkeps}\,a)\,r$\\
|
|
|
849 |
& & $\;\;\textit{else}\;\textit{None}$
|
|
|
850 |
\end{tabular}
|
|
|
851 |
\end{center}
|
|
|
852 |
\noindent
|
|
624
|
853 |
This function first attaches bitcodes to a
|
|
|
854 |
plain regular expression $r$, and then builds successive derivatives
|
|
581
|
855 |
with respect to the input string $s$, and
|
|
624
|
856 |
then test whether the result is (b)nullable.
|
|
|
857 |
If yes, then extract the bitcodes from the nullable expression,
|
|
581
|
858 |
and decodes the bitcodes into a lexical value.
|
|
|
859 |
If there does not exists a match between $r$ and $s$ the lexer
|
|
638
|
860 |
outputs $\None$ indicating a mismatch.
|
|
580
|
861 |
Ausaf and Urban formally proved the correctness of the $\blexer$, namely
|
|
|
862 |
\begin{property}
|
|
|
863 |
$\blexer \;r \; s = \lexer \; r \; s$.
|
|
|
864 |
\end{property}
|
|
581
|
865 |
\noindent
|
|
580
|
866 |
This was claimed but not formalised in Sulzmann and Lu's work.
|
|
|
867 |
We introduce the proof later, after we give all
|
|
|
868 |
the needed auxiliary functions and definitions.
|
|
581
|
869 |
\subsection{An Example $\blexer$ Run}
|
|
624
|
870 |
Before introducing the proof we shall first walk
|
|
580
|
871 |
through a concrete example of our $\blexer$ calculating the right
|
|
638
|
872 |
lexical information through bit-coded regular expressions.
|
|
|
873 |
|
|
581
|
874 |
Consider the regular expression $(aa)^* \cdot (b+c)$ matching the string $aab$.
|
|
|
875 |
We give again the bird's eye view of this particular example
|
|
|
876 |
in each stage of the algorithm:

The one dashed arrow indicates that $_Z(\ONE \cdot (aa)^*)$
|
|
|
938 |
turned into $ZS$ after derivative w.r.t $b$
|
|
638
|
939 |
is taken, which calls $\bmkeps$ on the nullable $_Z\ONE\cdot (aa)^*$
|
|
|
940 |
before processing $_Zb+_Sc$.
|
|
|
941 |
|
|
581
|
942 |
The annotated regular expressions
|
|
624
|
943 |
would look overwhelming if we explicitly indicate all the
|
|
581
|
944 |
locations where bitcodes are attached.
|
|
|
945 |
For example,
|
|
|
946 |
$(aa)^*\cdot (b+c)$ would
|
|
|
947 |
look like $_{[]}(_{[]}(_{[]}a \cdot _{[]}a)^*\cdot _{[]}(_{[]}b+_{[]}c))$
|
|
|
948 |
after
|
|
|
949 |
internalise.
|
|
|
950 |
Therefore for readability we omit bitcodes if they are empty.
|
|
624

951 |
This applies to all annotated
|

952 |
regular expressions in this thesis.

\section{Correctness Proof of $\textit{Blexer}$}
|
|
|
1047 |
Why is $\blexer$ correct?
|
|
|
1048 |
In other words, why is it the case that
|
|
|
1049 |
$\blexer$ outputs the same value as $\lexer$?
|
|
|
1050 |
Intuitively,
|
|
|
1051 |
that is because
|
|
|
1052 |
\begin{itemize}
|
|
|
1053 |
\item
|
|
|
1054 |
$\blexer$ follows an almost identical
|
|
|
1055 |
path as that of $\lexer$,
|
|
|
1056 |
for example $r_1, r_2, \ldots$ and $a_1, a_2, \ldots$ being produced,
|
|
|
1057 |
which are the same up to the application of $\erase$.
|
|
|
1058 |
\item
|
|
|
1059 |
The bit-encodings work properly,
|
|
|
1060 |
allowing the possibility of
|
|
|
1061 |
pulling out the right lexical value from an
|
|
|
1062 |
annotated regular expression at
|
|
624
|
1063 |
any stage, using $\bmkeps$ or $\retrieve$ (details in
|
|
|
1064 |
lemmas \ref{bmkepsRetrieve} and \ref{blexer_retrieve}).
|
|
581
|
1065 |
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
1066 |
We will elaborate on this, with the help of
|
|
|
1067 |
some helper functions such as $\retrieve$ and
|
|
|
1068 |
$\flex$.
|
|
|
1069 |
\subsection{Specifications of Some Helper Functions}
|
|
622
|
1070 |
The functions we introduce will give a more detailed view into
|
|
581
|
1071 |
the lexing process, which is not be possible
|
|
|
1072 |
using $\lexer$ or $\blexer$ alone.
|
|
|
1073 |
\subsubsection{$\textit{Retrieve}$}
|
|
|
1074 |
The first function we shall introduce is $\retrieve$.
|
|
|
1075 |
Sulzmann and Lu gave its definition, and
|
|
638
|
1076 |
Ausaf and Urban found it
|
|
624
|
1077 |
useful in their mechanised proofs.
|
|
581
|
1078 |
Our bit-coded lexer ``retrieve''s the bitcodes using $\bmkeps$,
|
|

The function $\bmkeps$ retrieves the value $v$'s
|

581

1090 |
information in the format
|
|
|
1091 |
of bitcodes, by travelling along the

path of the regular expression that corresponds to a POSIX match,

1093 |
collecting all the bitcodes.

We know that this "retrieved" bitcode leads to the correct value after decoding,

We have that $\vdash v_i:(a_i)_\downarrow$,
|
|
|
1124 |
where $v_i$ are the intermediate values generated step by step in $\lexer$.
|
|
|
1125 |
These values are not explicitly created in $\blexer$.
|
|
|
1126 |
|
|
|
1127 |
We encircled in the diagram all the pairs $v_i, a_i$ to show that these values
|
|
582
|
1128 |
and regular expressions share the same structure.
|
|
|
1129 |
These pairs all contain adequate information to
|
|
|
1130 |
obtain the final lexing result.
|
|
|
1131 |
For example, in the leftmost pair the
|
|
581
|
1132 |
lexical information is condensed in
|
|
582
|
1133 |
$v_0$, whereas for the rightmost pair,
|
|
638
|
1134 |
the lexing result hides is in the bitcodes of $a_n$.
|
|
|
1135 |
|
|
624
|
1136 |
The function $\bmkeps$ is able to extract from $a_n$ the result
|
|
582
|
1137 |
by looking for nullable parts of the regular expression.
|
|
|
1138 |
However for regular expressions $a_i$ in general,
|
|
|
1139 |
they might not necessarily be nullable.
|
|
|
1140 |
For those regular expressions that are not nullable,
|
|
|
1141 |
$\bmkeps$ will not work.
|
|
|
1142 |
Therefore they need some additional ``help''
|
|
|
1143 |
finding the POSIX bit-encoding.
|
|
581
|
1144 |
The most straightforward ``help'' comes from $a_i$'s corresponding
|
|
|
1145 |
value $v_i$, and this suggests a function $f$ satisfying the
|
|
|
1146 |
following properties:
|
|
542
|
1147 |
\begin{itemize}
|
|
|
1148 |
\item
|
|
581
|
1149 |
$f \; a_i\;v_i = f \; a_n \; v_n = \bmkeps \; a_n$%\decode \; (\bmkeps \; a_n) \; (\erase \; a_0)$
|
|
542
|
1150 |
\item
|
|
582
|
1151 |
$f \; a_i\;v_i = f \; a_0 \; v_0 = \code \; v_0$ %\decode \;(\code \; v_0) \; (\erase \; a_0)$
|

542

\end{itemize}
|
|
|
1153 |
\noindent
|
|
624

1154 |
Sulzmann and Lu came up with the following definition for $f$ satisfying
|
|
582
|
1155 |
the above
|
|
624
|
1156 |
requirements, and named it \emph{retrieve}:

As stated, $\retrieve$ collects the right bit-codes from the
|
|
|
1182 |
final derivative $a_n$, guided by $v_n$. This can be proved
|
|
|
1183 |
as follows:
|
|
582
|
1184 |
\begin{lemma}\label{bmkepsRetrieve}
|
|
542
|
1185 |
$\bnullable \; a \implies \bmkeps \; a = \retrieve \; a \; (\mkeps \; (\erase \; a))$
|
|
|
1186 |
\end{lemma}
|
|
|
1187 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
1188 |
By a routine induction on $a$.
|
|
|
1189 |
\end{proof}
|
|
582
|
1190 |
\noindent
|
|
624
|
1191 |
%The design of $\retrieve$ enables us to extract bitcodes
|
|
|
1192 |
%from both annotated regular expressions and values.
|
|
|
1193 |
%$\retrieve$ always ``sucks up'' all the information.
|
|
582
|
1194 |
When more information is stored in the value, we would be able to
|
|
|
1195 |
extract more from the value, and vice versa.
|
|
|
1196 |
For example in star iterations, $\retrieve$ will be able to extract from $\Stars \; vs$
|
|
|
1197 |
exactly the same bitcodes as $\code \; (\Stars \; vs)$:
|
|
624
|
1198 |
\begin{lemma}\label{retrieveEncodeSTARS}
|
|
582
|
1199 |
If $\forall v \in vs. \vdash v : r$, and $\code \; v = \retrieve \; (\internalise\; r) \; v$\\
|
|
|
1200 |
then $\code \; (\Stars \; vs) = \retrieve \; _{[]}((\internalise \; r)^*) \; (\Stars \; vs)$
|
|
624
|
1201 |
\end{lemma}
|
|
582
|
1202 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
1203 |
By induction on the value list $vs$.
|
|
|
1204 |
\end{proof}
|
|
|
1205 |
\noindent
|
|
|
1206 |
Similarly, when the value list does not hold information,
|
|
|
1207 |
only the bitcodes plus some delimiter will be recorded:
|
|
|
1208 |
\begin{center}
|
|
|
1209 |
$\retrieve \; _{bs}((\internalise \; r)^*) \; (\Stars \; [] ) = bs @ [S]$.
|
|
|
1210 |
\end{center}
|
|
624
|
1211 |
In general, if we have a regular expression that is just internalised
|
|
|
1212 |
and the final lexing result value, we can $\retrieve$ the bitcodes
|
|
582
|
1213 |
that look as if we have en$\code$-ed the value as bitcodes:
|
|
542
|
1214 |
\begin{lemma}
|
|
|
1215 |
$\vdash v : r \implies \retrieve \; (r)^\uparrow \; v = \code \; v$
|
|
|
1216 |
\end{lemma}
|
|
|
1217 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
1218 |
By induction on $r$.
|
|
582
|
1219 |
The star case uses lemma \ref{retrieveEncodeSTARS}.
|
|
542
|
1220 |
\end{proof}
|
|
|
1221 |
\noindent
|
|
624
|
1222 |
The following property of $\retrieve$ is crucial, as
|
|
582
|
1223 |
it provides a "bridge" between $a_0$ and $a_n $ in the
|
|
|
1224 |
lexing diagram by linking adjacent regular expressions $a_i$ and
|
|
|
1225 |
$a_{i+1}$.
|
|
|
1226 |
The property says that one
|
|
|
1227 |
can retrieve the same bits from a derivative
|
|
|
1228 |
regular expression as those from
|
|
|
1229 |
before the derivative took place,
|
|
624
|
1230 |
provided that the corresponding values are used respectively:
|
|
542
|
1231 |
\begin{lemma}\label{retrieveStepwise}
|
|
|
1232 |
$\vdash v : (r\backslash c) \implies \retrieve \; (r \backslash c) \; v= \retrieve \; r \; (\inj \; r\; c\; v)$
|
|
|
1233 |
\end{lemma}
|
|
|
1234 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
624
|
1235 |
By induction on $r$, generalising over $v$.
|
|
|
1236 |
The induction principle in our formalisation
|
|
|
1237 |
is function $\erase$'s cases.
|
|
542
|
1238 |
\end{proof}
|
|
|
1239 |
\noindent
|
|
582
|
1240 |
Before we move on to the next
|
|
|
1241 |
helper function, we rewrite $\blexer$ in
|
|
|
1242 |
the following way which makes later proofs more convenient:
|
|
542
|
1243 |
\begin{lemma}\label{blexer_retrieve}
|
|
|
1244 |
$\blexer \; r \; s = \decode \; (\retrieve \; (\internalise \; r) \; (\mkeps \; (r \backslash s) )) \; r$
|
|
|
1245 |
\end{lemma}
|
|
582
|
1246 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
1247 |
Using lemma \ref{bmkepsRetrieve}.
|
|
|
1248 |
\end{proof}
|
|
542
|
1249 |
\noindent
|
|
624
|
1250 |
The function $\retrieve$ allows connecting
|
|
582
|
1251 |
between the intermediate
|
|
|
1252 |
results $a_i$ and $a_{i+1}$ in $\blexer$.
|
|
|
1253 |
For plain regular expressions something similar is required.
|
|
542
|
1254 |
|
|
638
|
1255 |
\subsection{The Function $\flex$}
|
|
624
|
1256 |
Ausaf and Urban defined an auxiliary function called $\flex$ for $\lexer$,
|
|
532
|
1257 |
defined as
|
|
536
|
1258 |
\begin{center}
|
|
582
|
1259 |
\begin{tabular}{lcl}
|
|
536
|
1260 |
$\flex \; r \; f \; [] \; v$ & $=$ & $f\; v$\\
|
|
582
|
1261 |
$\flex \; r \; f \; (c :: s) \; v$ & $=$ & $\flex \; r \; (\lambda v. \, f (\inj \; r\; c\; v)) \;\; s \; v$
|
|
536
|
1262 |
\end{tabular}
|
|
|
1263 |
\end{center}
|
|
582
|
1264 |
which accumulates the characters that need to be injected back,
|
|
638
|
1265 |
and does the injection in a stack-like manner (the last taken derivative is first injected).
|
|
624
|
1266 |
The function
|
|
582
|
1267 |
$\flex$ can calculate what $\lexer$ calculates, given the input regular expression
|
|
|
1268 |
$r$, the identity function $id$, the input string $s$ and the value
|
|
|
1269 |
$v_n= \mkeps \; (r\backslash s)$:
|
|
532
|
1270 |
\begin{lemma}
|
|
582
|
1271 |
$\flex \;\; r \;\; \textit{id}\;\; s \;\; (\mkeps \;(r\backslash s)) = \lexer \; r \; s$
|
|
532
|
1272 |
\end{lemma}
|
|
542
|
1273 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
|
1274 |
By reverse induction on $s$.
|
|
|
1275 |
\end{proof}
|
|
582
|
1276 |
\noindent
|
|
|
1277 |
The main advantage of using $\flex$
|
|
624
|
1278 |
in $\lexer$ is that
|
|
582
|
1279 |
$\flex$ makes the value $v$ and function $f$
|
|
|
1280 |
that manipulates the value explicit parameters,
|
|
|
1281 |
which ``exposes'' $\lexer$'s recursive call
|
|
|
1282 |
arguments and allows us to ``set breakpoints'' and ``resume''
|
|
624
|
1283 |
at any point during $\lexer$'s recursive calls. Therefore
|
|
|
1284 |
the following stepwise property holds.
|
|
532
|
1285 |
\begin{lemma}\label{flexStepwise}
|
|
582
|
1286 |
$\textit{flex} \;\; r \;\; f \;\; (s@[c]) \;\; v = \flex \;\; r \;\; f \;\; s \;\; (\inj \; (r\backslash s) \; c \; v) $
|
|
532
|
1287 |
\end{lemma}
|
|
|
1288 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
582
|
1289 |
By induction on the shape of $r\backslash s$.
|
|
532
|
1290 |
\end{proof}
|
|
582
|
1291 |
\noindent
|
|
|
1292 |
With $\flex$ and $\retrieve$,
|
|
|
1293 |
we are ready to connect $\lexer$ and $\blexer$,
|
|
624
|
1294 |
giving the correctness proof for $\blexer$.

\section{Correctness of the Bit-coded Algorithm (Without Simplification)}
|
|
|
1300 |
We can first show that
|
|
638
|
1301 |
$\flex$ and $\blexer$ calculates the same value.
|
|
582
|
1302 |
\begin{lemma}\label{flex_retrieve}
|
|
|
1303 |
If $\vdash v: (r\backslash s)$, then\\
|
|
|
1304 |
$\flex \; r \; \textit{id}\; s\; v = \decode \; (\retrieve \; (r\backslash s )\; v) \; r$
|
|
532
|
1305 |
\end{lemma}
|
|
|
1306 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
582
|
1307 |
By induction on $s$.
|
|
|
1308 |
We prove the interesting case where
|
|
|
1309 |
both $\flex$ and $\decode$ successfully terminates
|
|
|
1310 |
with some value.
|
|
|
1311 |
We take advantage of the stepwise properties
|
|
|
1312 |
both sides.
|
|
|
1313 |
The induction tactic is reverse induction on string $s$.
|
|
|
1314 |
The inductive hypothesis says that $\flex \; r \; id \;s \; v =
|
|
|
1315 |
\decode \; (\retrieve \; (r\backslash s) \; v) \; r$ holds,
|
|
|
1316 |
where $v$ can be any value satisfying
|
|
|
1317 |
the assumption $\vdash v: (r\backslash s)$.
|
|
|
1318 |
The crucial point is to rewrite
|
|
|
1319 |
\[
|
|
|
1320 |
\retrieve \;\; (r \backslash (s@[c])) \;\; (\mkeps\; (r \backslash (s@[c]) ))
|
|
|
1321 |
\]
|
|
|
1322 |
as
|
|
|
1323 |
\[
|
|
|
1324 |
\retrieve \;\; (r \backslash s)
|
|
|
1325 |
\;\; (\inj \; (r \backslash s) \; c\; \mkeps (r \backslash (s@[c])))
|
|
|
1326 |
\]
|
|
|
1327 |
using lemma \ref{retrieveStepwise}.
|
|
|
1328 |
This enables us to equate
|
|
|
1329 |
\[
|
|

1331 |
\]
|
|
|
1332 |
with
|
|
|
1333 |
\[
|
|
|
1334 |
\flex \; r \; \textit{id} \; s \; (\inj \; (r\backslash s) \; c\; (\mkeps (r\backslash s@[c])))
|
|
|
1335 |
\]
|
|
|
1336 |
using IH,
|
|
|
1337 |
which in turn can be rewritten as
|
|
|
1338 |
\[
|
|
|
1339 |
\flex \; r \; \textit{id} \; (s@[c]) \; (\mkeps \; (r \backslash (s@[c])))
|
|
|
1340 |
\].

With this pivotal lemma we can now link $\flex$ and $\blexer$
|
|
|
1344 |
and finally give the correctness of $\blexer$--it outputs the same result as $\lexer$:
|
|
542
|
1345 |
\begin{theorem}
|
|
|
1346 |
$\blexer\; r \; s = \lexer \; r \; s$
|
|
|
1347 |
\end{theorem}
|
|
|
1348 |
\begin{proof}
|
|
582
|
1349 |
From \ref{flex_retrieve} we have that
|
|
|
1350 |
$\textit{flex} \; r \; \textit{id} \; s \; \mkeps(r \backslash s) = \blexer \; r \; s$,
|
|
|
1351 |
which immediately implies this theorem.
|
|
542
|
1352 |
\end{proof}
|
|
|
1353 |
\noindent
|
|
582
|
1354 |
To piece things together and spell out the correctness
|
|
|
1355 |
result of the bitcoded lexer more explicitly,
|
|
576
|
1356 |
we use the fact from the previous chapter that
|
|
|
1357 |
\[
|
|
624
|
1358 |
(r, s) \rightarrow v \;\; \textit{iff} \;\; \lexer \; r \; s =\Some \; v
|
|
|
1359 |
\quad \quad
|
|
|
1360 |
\nexists v. (r, s) \rightarrow v\;\; \textit{iff} \;\; \lexer \;r\;s = None
|
|
576
|
1361 |
\]
|
|
|
1362 |
to obtain this corollary:
|
|
|
1363 |
\begin{corollary}\label{blexerPOSIX}
|
|
624
|
1364 |
The $\blexer$ function correctly implements a POSIX lexer, namely\\
|
|
|
1365 |
$(r, s) \rightarrow v \;\; \textit{iff} \;\; \blexer \; r \; s = \Some \; v$\\
|
|
|
1366 |
$\nexists v. (r, s) \rightarrow v\;\; \textit{iff} \;\; \blexer \;r\;s = None$
|
|
576
|
1367 |
\end{corollary}
|
|
624
|
1368 |
Our main reason for analysing the bit-coded algorithm over
|
|
|
1369 |
the injection-based one is that it allows us to define
|
|
542
|
1370 |
more aggressive simplifications.
|
|
|
1371 |
We will elaborate on this in the next chapter.
