Hello,

I am trying to replicate something like discussed in
https://lists.cam.ac.uk/mailman/htdig/cl-isabelle-users/2020-November/msg00013.html
(the part of the JinjaThreads theory), i.e. generating code for a
reflexive transitive closure predicate, however the [inductify] option
that I have to use on code_pred currently seems to give me some headaches.

In essence, what I have in my project is something like this:

theory "Scratch"

imports "HOL-Library.Transitive_Closure_Table" Main

begin

typedef mynat = "{n :: nat. True}" by auto

setup_lifting type_definition_mynat

definition P :: "mynat ⇒ mynat ⇒ bool" where

"P a b ≡ Rep_mynat a = Suc (Rep_mynat b)"

definition t where "t = (P)^**"

(* Fails with: "No specification for Rep_mynat" *)

code_pred (modes: i ⇒ i ⇒ bool, i ⇒ o ⇒ bool) [inductify] t .

(* The final goal *)

export_code t in SML

end

I have some executable predicate P over which I want to execute the
reflexive transitive closure t.

Now from what I understand (please correct me if I am wrong), the
[inductify] option here is necessary so code_pred understands that this
is actually an inductive predicate by digging into the definitions.

But that also means it will go even deeper and try to inspect Rep_mynat
for example, which fails.

What I intuitively would want it to do is to only unfold the t, but then
consider P an opaque constant.

I have seen that code_pred has quite a few more undocumented options,
but didn't find anything yet that did what I need. Is something like
this possible somehow or am I misunderstanding the inner workings of the
predicate compiler here?

"No specification for Rep_mynat": I suspect the code generator just cannot
handle types specified by "typedef".

Hello Tobias,

in my larger project I could probably get rid of the typdefd types in
this specific predicate by just duplicating the code of what is called P
here, operating directly on the underying type of the typedef.

However after doing this, I end up with another issue that can be seen
in this example:

theory "Scratch"
imports "HOL-Library.Transitive_Closure_Table" Main
begin

definition P :: "nat ⇒ nat ⇒ bool" where "P a b ≡ a ∈ set [b]"
definition t where "t ≡ (P)^**"

(* Fails with:
exception TERM raised (line 80 of
"~~/src/HOL/Tools/Predicate_Compile/predicate_compile_data.ML"):
defining_const_of_introrule failed: Not a constant
{x. x ∈ ?z} ≡ ?z
*)
code_pred (modes: i ⇒ i ⇒ bool, i ⇒ o ⇒ bool) [inductify, show_steps,
show_intermediate_results] t .

(* The final goal *)
export_code t in SML

end

So it seems there is an issue with the ∈ operator now, which might be
possible to eliminate too (here by operating on the list [b], probably
similar in the real project) but this also brings me back to the
original problem: Is it somehow possible to use code_pred on a
definition like "t ≡ (P)^**" that does not use the "inductive" command
at the top level, without code_pred having to recurse through every
little definition that it contains?

Hi Florian,

code_pred's [inductify] option has its quirks and doesn't always work; in particular set
comprehensions and set membership are tricky (code_pred was developed when "'a set" was a
type abbreviation for "'a => bool"). What you can do is to do the inductification
manually. In your example with the typedef, the following makes code_pred generate the
right equations (of course, you should manually fill in the sorrys)

lemma P_intro [code_pred_intro]: "P n m"
if "Rep_mynat n ≠ 0" "m = Abs_mynat (Rep_mynat n - 1)" sorry

code_pred (modes: i ⇒ i ⇒ bool, i ⇒ o ⇒ bool) P sorry

code_pred (modes: i ⇒ i ⇒ bool, i ⇒ o ⇒ bool) [inductify] t .

Now, however, export_code gives you a well-sortedness error that mynat isn't an instance
of equal. But that's something you probably want to provide anyway; I'm actually surprised
that the setup_lifting doesn't generate such an instance.

Hope this helps,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

thank you very much, this does bring me one step forward.
Now considering the set example again, this is what I have now:

theory "Scratch"
imports "HOL-Library.Transitive_Closure_Table" Main
begin

definition P :: "nat ⇒ nat ⇒ bool" where "P a b ≡ a ∈ set [b]"
definition t where "t ≡ (P)^**"

lemma P_intro [code_pred_intro]: "P a b"
if "a ∈ set [b]" unfolding P_def using that .

code_pred (modes: i ⇒ i ⇒ bool) P
using P_def by auto

(*
Output:
Inferred modes:
Scratch.t:
*)
code_pred (* errors: (modes: i ⇒ i ⇒ bool, i ⇒ o ⇒ bool)*) [inductify,
show_modes] t .

export_code t in SML module_name Scratch
(*
exception Fail raised (line 26 of "generated code"):
Transitive_Closure.rtranclp
which is no wonder becuause the code is essentially this:

fun rtranclp _ _ _ = raise Fail "Transitive_Closure.rtranclp";
fun t x = rtranclp p x;
*)
value "t 0 1"

end

So in the end, with HOL-Library.Transitive_Closure_Table, the rtranclp
function ist just a one-liner raising an exception here.
What seems fishy to me is that the code_pred for t in this case does not
infer any modes at all, but I am not really sure what to make of this.

Hi Florian,

For the predicate P, you've only inferred the mode i => i => bool, but that's not enough
to compute a transitive closure (as nat is infinite). If you add [show_mode] to the
code_pred rtranclp invocation in Transitive_Closure_Table, you'll see that the relation
must have mode i => o => bool. So you need to provide introduction rules for P that yield
such a mode. In your artificial example, you get this via

lemma [code_pred_intro]: "P a b" if "a = b"

Another example: If P was defined as "P a b = a : set [b, b + 1]", you'd get there via

lemma [code_pred_intro]: "a = b ==> P a b" "a = b + 1 ==> P a b"

Hope this helps,
Andreas
