If \bl{$r$} matches the string \bl{$c\!::\!s$}, what is a regular 
expression that matches just \bl{$s$}?\bigskip\bigskip\bigskip\bigskip

\bl{$der\,c\,r$} gives the answer, Brzozowski (1964), Owens (2005)

It is a relative easy exercise in a theorem prover:

\frametitle{POSIX Regex Matching}

Two rules:

\begin{itemize}
\item Longest match rule (``maximal munch rule''): The 
longest initial substring matched by any regular expression 
is taken as the next token.

\begin{center}
\bl{$\texttt{\Grid{iffoo\VS bla}}$}
\end{center}\medskip

\item Rule priority:
For a particular longest initial substring, the first regular
expression that can match determines the token.

\begin{center}
\bl{$\texttt{\Grid{if\VS bla}}$}
\end{center}
\end{itemize}\bigskip\pause

\begin{itemize}
\item introduce an inductively defined ordering relation 
\bl{$v \succ_r v'$} which captures the idea of POSIX matching

\item the algorithm returns the maximum of all possible
 values that are possible for a regular expression.\pause

\item the idea is from a paper by Cardelli \& Frisch about 
GREEDY matching (GREEDY $=$ preferring instant gratification to delayed
repletion):

\item e.g.~given \bl{$(a + (b + ab))^*$} and string \bl{$ab$}

\begin{center}

\item Exists?

\item in the sequence case 
\bl{$Seq(v_1, v_2)\succ_{r_1\cdot r_2} Seq(v_1', v_2')$}, 
the induction hypotheses require
\bl{$|v_1| = |v'_1|$} and \bl{$|v_2| = |v'_2|$}, 
but you only know

\begin{center}
\bl{$|v_1| \;@\; |v_2| = |v'_1| \;@\; |v'_2|$}

\begin{frame}[c]
\frametitle{Properties}

It is almost trival to prove:

\begin{itemize}
\item Uniqueness
\begin{center}
If \bl{$s \in r \to v_1$} and \bl{$s \in r \to v_2$} then
\bl{$v_1 = v_2$}.
\end{center}\bigskip

\item Correctness
\begin{center}
\bl{$lexer(r, s) = v$} if and only if \bl{$s \in r \to v$}
\end{center}
\end{itemize}\bigskip\bigskip\pause


You can now start to implement optimisations and derive
correctness proofs for them. But we still do not know whether

\begin{center}
\bl{$s \in r \to v$} 
\end{center}

is a POSIX value according to Sulzmann \& Lu's definition
(biggest value for \bl{$s$} and \bl{$r$})

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{frame}[c]
\frametitle{Conclusion}

\begin{itemize}

\item we replaced the POSIX definition of Sulzmann \& Lu by a
      new definition (ours is inspired by work of Vansummeren,
      2006)\medskip
  
\item their proof contained small gaps (acknowledged) but had
      also fundamental flaws\medskip

\item now, its a nice exercise for theorem proving\medskip

\item some optimisations need to be applied to the algorithm
      in order to become fast enough\medskip

\item can be used for lexing, is a small beautiful functional
      program
