The task is to develop a compiler from a generic type of expressions (built
up from variables, constants and binary operations) to a stack machine.  This
generic type of expressions is a generalization of the boolean expressions in
\S\ref{sec:boolex}.  This time we do not commit ourselves to a particular
type of variables or values but make them type parameters.  Neither is there
a fixed set of binary operations: instead the expression contains the
appropriate function itself.
*}

types 'v binop = "'v \\<Rightarrow> 'v \\<Rightarrow> 'v";
datatype ('a,'v)expr = Cex 'v
                     | Vex 'a
                     | Bex "'v binop"  "('a,'v)expr"  "('a,'v)expr";

text{*\noindent
The three constructors represent constants, variables and the combination of
two subexpressions with a binary operation.

The value of an expression w.r.t.\ an environment that maps variables to
values is easily defined:
*}

consts value :: "('a \\<Rightarrow> 'v) \\<Rightarrow> ('a,'v)expr \\<Rightarrow> 'v";
primrec
"value env (Cex v) = v"
"value env (Vex a) = env a"
"value env (Bex f e1 e2) = f (value env e1) (value env e2)";

text{*
The stack machine has three instructions: load a constant value onto the
stack, load the contents of a certain address onto the stack, and apply a
binary operation to the two topmost elements of the stack, replacing them by
the result. As for \isa{expr}, addresses and values are type parameters:
*}

datatype ('a,'v) instr = Const 'v
                       | Load 'a
                       | Apply "'v binop";

text{*
The execution of the stack machine is modelled by a function \isa{exec}
that takes a store (modelled as a function from addresses to values, just
like the environment for evaluating expressions), a stack (modelled as a
list) of values, and a list of instructions, and returns the stack at the end
of the execution---the store remains unchanged:
*}

consts exec :: "('a\\<Rightarrow>'v) \\<Rightarrow> 'v list \\<Rightarrow> ('a,'v)instr list \\<Rightarrow> 'v list";
primrec
"exec s vs [] = vs"
"exec s vs (i#is) = (case i of
    Const v  \\<Rightarrow> exec s (v#vs) is
  | Load a   \\<Rightarrow> exec s ((s a)#vs) is
  | Apply f  \\<Rightarrow> exec s ( (f (hd vs) (hd(tl vs)))#(tl(tl vs)) ) is)";

text{*\noindent
Recall that \isa{hd} and \isa{tl}
return the first element and the remainder of a list.
Because all functions are total, \isa{hd} is defined even for the empty
list, although we do not know what the result is. Thus our model of the
machine always terminates properly, although the above definition does not
tell us much about the result in situations where \isa{Apply} was executed
with fewer than two elements on the stack.

The compiler is a function from expressions to a list of instructions. Its
definition is pretty much obvious:
*}

consts comp :: "('a,'v)expr \\<Rightarrow> ('a,'v)instr list";
primrec
"comp (Cex v)       = [Const v]"
"comp (Vex a)       = [Load a]"
"comp (Bex f e1 e2) = (comp e2) @ (comp e1) @ [Apply f]";

text{*
Now we have to prove the correctness of the compiler, i.e.\ that the
execution of a compiled expression results in the value of the expression:
*}
theorem "exec s [] (comp e) = [value s e]";
(*<*)oops;(*>*)
text{*\noindent
This theorem needs to be generalized to
*}

theorem "\\<forall>vs. exec s vs (comp e) = (value s e) # vs";

txt{*\noindent
which is proved by induction on \isa{e} followed by simplification, once
we have the following lemma about executing the concatenation of two
instruction sequences:
*}
(*<*)oops;(*>*)
lemma exec_app[simp]:
  "\\<forall>vs. exec s vs (xs@ys) = exec s (exec s vs xs) ys"; 

txt{*\noindent
This requires induction on \isa{xs} and ordinary simplification for the
base cases. In the induction step, simplification leaves us with a formula
that contains two \isa{case}-expressions over instructions. Thus we add
automatic case splitting as well, which finishes the proof:
*}
apply(induct_tac xs, simp, simp split: instr.split).;

text{*\noindent
Note that because \isaindex{auto} performs simplification, it can
also be modified in the same way \isa{simp} can. Thus the proof can be
rewritten as
*}
(*<*)
lemmas [simp del] = exec_app;
lemma [simp]: "\\<forall>vs. exec s vs (xs@ys) = exec s (exec s vs xs) ys"; 
(*>*)
apply(induct_tac xs, auto split: instr.split).;

text{*\noindent
Although this is more compact, it is less clear for the reader of the proof.

We could now go back and prove \isa{exec s [] (comp e) = [value s e]}
merely by simplification with the generalized version we just proved.
However, this is unnecessary because the generalized version fully subsumes
its instance.
*}
(*<*)
theorem "\\<forall>vs. exec s vs (comp e) = (value s e) # vs";
apply(induct_tac e, auto).;
