2017-11-16Remove unused Typ_wild constructorAlasdair Armstrong
2017-11-16Fixed some longstanding issues regarding constraints on type constructors.Alasdair Armstrong
Now constraints on type constructors are checked correctly when checking that types are well formed using Env.wf_typ. The arity and kind of type constructor arguments are also checked in the same way. Also some general cleanups to the type checker code, with some auxillary functions being moved to more appropriate files.
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...

2017-11-03Make nexp_simp a little smarterBrian Campbell
2017-11-02Added monomorphism restriction to undefined values.Alasdair Armstrong
What does this mean? Basically undefined values can't be created for types that contain free type variables, so for example: undefined : list(int) is good, but undefined : list('a) is bad. The reason we want to do this is because we can't compile them away statically, and this leads to situations where type-checkable code fails in the rewriter and gives horribly confusing error messages that don't relate to code the user wrote at all. As an example the following used to typecheck, but fail in the rewriter with a confusing error message, whereas now the typechecker should reject all cases which would trigger that failure in rewriting. val test : forall ('a:Type). list('a) -> unit effect {wreg, undef} function test xs = { xs_mut = xs; xs_mut = undefined; (* We don't know what kind of undefined 'a is *) () } There's a slight hitch, namely that in the undefined_type functions created by the -undefined_gen option, we do want to allow functions that have polymorphic undefined values, so that we can generate undefined generators for polymorphic datatypes such as: union option ('a:Type) = { Some : 'a, None } These functions are always have a specific form that allows the rewriter to succesfully remove the polymorphic undefined value for the 'a argument for Sone. As such there's a flag in the typechecking environment for polymorphic undefineds that is enabled when it sees a function with the undefined_ name prefix. Also: Fixed some test cases that were broken due to escape effect being added to assert.

2017-10-13Fix some bugs that surfaced in the ASL exportThomas Bauereiss
- Bitvector pattern rewriting had stopped working due to a line of code being lost in some merge. - Fix a bug in early return rewriting that caused returns getting pulled out of if-statements to disappear. - There were some variable name clashes with keywords because doc_lem_id was not always called. - Ast_util.is_number failed to check for "int" and "nat" built-in types, causing pattern matching on natural number literals to fail.
2017-10-12Fixes pattern matching exact values ([:'n:]) on integer literalsAlasdair Armstrong
Also improves flow typing in assert statements for ASL parser This patch does currently introduce a few test failures, probably due to the new way literals are handled in case statements, which needs to be investigated and fixed if possible.

2017-08-24More work on undefined elimination pass.Alasdair Armstrong
Also generate a function which initializes all the registers in a spec to undefined. This gives us the information we need post-rewriting to generate registers of any arbitrary type.
2017-08-23Started work on an undefined literal removal pass for the ocamlAlasdair Armstrong
backed. Ocaml doesn't support undefined values, so we need a way to remove them from the specification in order to generate good ocaml code. There are more subtle issues to - like if we initialize a mutable variable with an undefined list, then the ocaml runtime has no way of telling what it's length should be (as this information is removed by the simple_types pass). We therefore rewrite undefined literals with calls to functions that create undefined types, e.g. (bool) undefined becomes undefined_bool () (vector<'n,'m,dec,bit>) undefined becomes undefined_vector(sizeof 'n, sizeof 'm, undefined_bit ()) We therefore have to generate undefined_X functions for any user defined datatype X. initial_check seems to be the logical place for this. This is straightforward provided the user defined types are not-recursive (and it shouldn't be too bad even if they are).
2017-08-22Added debugging output for E_record and E_record_update in ast_utilAlasdair Armstrong
2017-08-21Modified sizeof rewriting pass so it can correctly deal with existentials.Alasdair Armstrong
Basically we needed to make the rewriting step for E_sizeof and E_constraint more aggressively try to rewrite those expressions from variables in scope, without adding new parameters to pass the type variables at runtime, as this can break in the presence of existential quantification. Still some cleanup to do in this code, but tests on the arm spec show that it now introduces the minimal amount of new parameters.

2017-08-16Added the feature to bind type variables in patterns.Alasdair Armstrong
The reason you want this is to do something like (note new parser only): ********* default Order dec type bits 'n:Int = vector('n - 1, 'n, dec, bit) val zeros : forall 'n. atom('n) -> bits('n) val decode : bool -> unit function decode b = { let 'datasize: {|32, 64|} = if b then 32 else 64; let imm: bits('datasize) = zeros(datasize); () } ********* for the ASL decode functions, where the typechecker now knows that the datasize variable and the length of imm are the same.
