2018-01-05Added bitfield syntax to replicate register bits typeAlasdair Armstrong
For example: bitfield cr : vector(8, dec, bit) = { CR0 : 7 .. 4, LT : 7, CR1 : 3 .. 2, CR2 : 1, CR3 : 0, } The difference this creates a newtype wrapper around the vector type, then generates getters and setters for all the fields once, rather than having to handle this construct separately in every backend.
2018-01-03Lots of experimental changes on this branchAlasdair Armstrong
* Changed comment syntax to C-style /* */ and // * References to registers and mutable variables are never created implicitly - a reference to a register or variable R is now created via the expression "ref R". References are assigned like "(*Y) = X", with "(*ref R) = X" being equivalent to "R = X". Everything is always explicit now, which simplifies the logic in the typechecker. There's also now an invariant that every id directly in a LEXP is mutable, which is actually required for our rewriter steps to be sound. * More flexible syntax for L-expressions to better support wierd power-idioms, some syntax sugar means that: X.GET(a, b, c) ==> _mod_GET(X, a, b, c) X->GET(a, b, c) ==> _mod_GET(ref X, a, b, c) for setters, this can be combined with the (still somewhat poorly named) LEXP_memory construct, such that: X->SET(a, b, c) = Y ==> _mod_SET(ref X, a, b, c, Y) Currently I use the _mod_ prefix for these 'modifier' functions, but we could omit that a la rust. * The register bits typedef construct no longer exists in the typechecker. This construct never worked consistently between backends and inc/dec vectors, and it can be easily replaced by structs with fancy setters/getters if need be. One can also use custom type operators to mimic the syntax, i.e. type operator ... ('n : Int) ('m : Int) = slice('n, 'm) struct cr = { CR0 : 32 ... 35, /* 32 : LT; 33 : GT; 34 : EQ; 35 : SO; */ CR1 : 36 ... 39, /* 36 : FX; 37 : FEX; 38 : VX; 39 : OX; */ CR2 : 40 ... 43, CR3 : 44 ... 47, CR4 : 48 ... 51, CR5 : 52 ... 55, CR6 : 56 ... 59, CR7 : 60 ... 63, } This greatly simplifies a lot of the logic in the typechecker, as it means that E_field is no longer ambiguously overloaded between records and register bit typedefs. This also makes writing semantics for these constructs much simpler.

2017-12-11Prototype interactive mode for sail.Alasdair Armstrong
Requires linenoise library (opam install linenoise) for readline support. Use 'make isail' to build sail with interactive support. Plain 'make sail' should work as before with no additional dependencies. Use 'sail -i <commands>' to run sail interactively, e.g. sail -new_parser -i test/ocaml/prelude.sail test/ocaml/trycatch/tc.sail then try some commands for typechecking and evaluation sail> :t main sail> main () Doesn't use the lem interpreter right now, instead has a small operational semantics in src/interpreter.ml, but this is not very complete and will be changed/removed.

Also fix bug in mono analysis with generated variables Breaks lots of typechecking tests because it generates unnecessary equality tests on units (and the tests don't have generic equality), which I'll fix next.
2017-11-24Use unbound precision big_ints throughout sail.Alasdair Armstrong
Alastair's test cases revealed that using regular ints causes issues throughout sail, where all kinds of things can internally overflow in edge cases. This either causes crashes (e.g. int_of_string fails for big ints) or bizarre inexplicable behaviour. This patch switches the sail AST to use big_int rather than int, and updates everything accordingly. This touches everything and there may be bugs where I mistranslated things, and also n = m will still typecheck with big_ints but fail at runtime (ocaml seems to have decided that static typing is unnecessary for equality...), as it needs to be changed to eq_big_int. I also got rid of the old unused ocaml backend while I was updating things, so as to not have to fix it.

2017-11-16Remove unused Typ_wild constructorAlasdair Armstrong
2017-11-15Allow user defined operations in nexps (experimental)Alasdair Armstrong
There are several key changes here: 1) This commit allows for user defined operations in n-expressions using the Nexp_app constructor. These operations are linked to operators in the SMT solver, by using the smt extern when defining operations. Notably, this allows integer division and modular arithmetic to be used in types. This is best demonstrated with an example: infixl 7 / infixl 7 % val operator / = { smt: "div", ocaml: "quotient" } : forall 'n 'm, 'm != 0. (atom('n), atom('m)) -> {'o, 'o = 'n / 'm. atom('o)} val mod_atom = { smt: "mod", ocaml: "modulus" } : forall 'n 'm. (atom('n), atom('m)) -> {'o, 'o = mod_atom('n, 'm). atom('o)} val "print_int" : (string, int) -> unit overload operator % = mod_atom val main : unit -> unit function main () = { let 'm : {'x, 'x % 3 = 1. atom('x)} = 4; let 'n = m / 3; _prove(constraint(('m - 1) % 3 = 0)); _prove(constraint('n * 3 + 1 = 'm)); (* let x = 3 / 0; (* Will fail *) *) print_int("n = ", n); () } As can be seen, these nexp ops can be arbitrary user defined operators and even operator overloading works (although there are some caveats). This feature is very experimental, and some things won't work very well once you use custom operators - notably unification. However, this not necissarily a downside, because if restrict yourself to the subset of sail types that correspond to liquid types, then there is never a need to unify n-expressions. Looking further ahead, if we switch to a liquid type system a la minisail, then we no longer need to treat + - and * specially in n-expressions. So possible future refactorings could involve collapsing the Nexp datatype. 2) The typechecker is stricter about valspecs (and other types) being well-formed. This is a breaking change because previously we allowed things like: val f : atom('n) -> atom('n) and now this must be val f : forall 'n. atom('n) -> atom('n) if we want to allow the first syntax, then initial-check should desugar it this way - but it must be well-formed by the time it hits the type-checker, otherwise it's not clear that we do the right thing. Note we can actually have top-level type variables by using top-level let bindings with P_var. There's a future line of refactoring that would make it so that type variables can shadow each other properly (we should do this) - currently they all have to have unique names. 3) atom('n) is no longer syntactic sugar for range('n, 'n). The reason why we want to do this is that if we wanted to be smart about what sail operations can be translated into SMT operations at the type level we care very much that they talk about atoms and not ranges. Why? Because atom is the term level representation of a specific type variable so it's clear how to map between term level functions and type level functions, i.e. (atom('n) -> atom('n)) can be reflected at the type level by a type level function with kind Int -> Int, but the same is not true for range. Furthermore, both are interdefinable as atom('n) -> range('n, 'n) range('n, 'm) -> {'o, 'n <= 'o <= 'm. atom('n)} and I think the second is actually slightly more elegant. This change *should* be backwards compatible, as the type-checker knows how to convert from atom to ranges and unify them with each other, but there may be bugs introduced here...
2017-11-08Allow functions to be selectively declared external only for some backendsThomas Bauereiss
For example, val test = { ocaml: "test_ocaml" } : unit -> unit will only be external for OCaml. For other backends, it will have to be defined.
2017-11-08Allow for different extern names for different backendsAlasdair Armstrong
For example: val test = { ocaml: "test_ocaml", lem: "test_lem" } : unit -> unit val main : unit -> unit function main () = { test (); } for a backend not explicitly provided, the extern name would be simply "test" in this case, i.e. the string version of the id. Also fixed some bugs in the ocaml backend.
