header {* Using Hoare Logic *}

theory HoareEx = Hoare:

subsection {* State spaces *}

text {*
 First of all we provide a store of program variables that
 occur in any of the programs considered later.  Slightly unexpected
 things may happen when attempting to work with undeclared variables.
*}

record vars =
  I :: nat
  M :: nat
  N :: nat
  S :: nat

text {*
 While all of our variables happen to have the same type, nothing
 would prevent us from working with many-sorted programs as well, or
 even polymorphic ones.  Also note that Isabelle/HOL's extensible
 record types even provides simple means to extend the state space
 later.
*}


subsection {* Basic examples *}

text {*
 We look at few trivialities involving assignment and sequential
 composition, in order to get an idea of how to work with our
 formulation of Hoare Logic.
*}

text {*
 Using the basic \name{assign} rule directly is a bit cumbersome.
*}

lemma
  "|- .{\<acute>(N_update (2 * \<acute>N)) : .{\<acute>N = #10}.}. \<acute>N := 2 * \<acute>N .{\<acute>N = #10}."
  by (rule assign)

text {*
 Certainly we want the state modification already done, e.g.\ by
 simplification.  The \name{hoare} method performs the basic state
 update for us; we may apply the Simplifier afterwards to achieve
 ``obvious'' consequences as well.

text {*
 It is important to note that statements like the following one can
 only be proven for each individual program variable.  Due to the
 extra-logical nature of record fields, we cannot formulate a theorem
 relating record selectors and updates schematically.

  -- {* same statement without concrete syntax *}

text {*
 In the following assignments we make use of the consequence rule in
 order to achieve the intended precondition.  Certainly, the
 \name{hoare} method is able to handle this case, too.

subsection {* Multiplication by addition *}

text {*
 We now do some basic examples of actual \texttt{WHILE} programs.
 This one is a loop for calculating the product of two natural
 numbers, by iterated addition.  We first give detailed structured
 proof based on single-step Hoare rules.

  let ".{\<acute>?inv}." = ".{\<acute>S = \<acute>M * b}."

  have ".{\<acute>M = 0 & \<acute>S = 0}. <= .{\<acute>?inv}." by auto

text {*
 The subsequent version of the proof applies the \name{hoare} method
 to reduce the Hoare statement to a purely logical problem that can be
 solved fully automatically.  Note that we have to specify the
 \texttt{WHILE} loop invariant in the original statement.

subsection {* Summing natural numbers *}

text {*
 We verify an imperative program to sum natural numbers up to a given
 limit.  First some functional definition for proper specification of
 the problem.
*}

consts
  sum :: "(nat => nat) => nat => nat"
primrec
  "sum f 0 = 0"
  "sum f (Suc n) = f n + sum f n"

syntax
  "_sum" :: "idt => nat => nat => nat"
    ("SUM _<_. _" [0, 0, 10] 10)
translations
  "SUM j<k. b" == "sum (\<lambda>j. b) k"

text {*
 The following proof is quite explicit in the individual steps taken,
 with the \name{hoare} method only applied locally to take care of
 assignment and sequential composition.  Note that we express
 intermediate proof obligation in pure logic, without referring to the
 state space.

 the resulting proof obligations in an abstract, structured manner.

 that the invariant is given beforehand.
