2 Natural semantics for While [ass ns ] [skip ns ] x := a, s s[x A a s] skip, s s [comp ns ] S 1, s s, S 2, s s S 1 ; S 2, s s [if tt ns] S 1, s s if b then S 1 else S 2, s s if B b s = tt [if ff ns] S 2, s s if b then S 1 else S 2, s s if B b s = ff 2

3 Natural semantics for While [while ff ns] while b do S, s s if B b s = ff [while tt ns] S, s s, while b do S, s s while b do S, s s if B b s = tt 3

4 Axiomatic semantics for While [ass p ] [skip p ] { P[a/x] } x := a { P } { P } skip { P } [comp p ] { P } S 1 { Q }, { Q } S 2 { R } { P } S 1 ; S 2 { R } [if p ] { b P } S 1 { Q }, { b P } S 2 { Q } { P } if b then S 1 else S 2 { Q } [while p ] { b P } S { P } { P } while b do S { b P } [cons p ] { P } S { Q } { P } S { Q } if P P and Q Q 4

5 Assertions, a.k.a Hoare triples { P } C { Q } precondition statement a.k.a command postcondition P and Q are state predicates Example: x>0 If P holds in the initial state, and if execution of C terminates on that state, then Q will hold in the state in which C halts C is not required to always terminate {true} while true do skip {false} 5

6 Valid assertions We say that { P } C { Q } is valid if for all states s, if s P and C, s s then s Q Denoted by p { P } C { Q } Q P s C C(P) s 6

7 Assignment rule [ass p ] { P[a/x] } x := a { P } A backwards rule x := a always finishes Why is this true? Recall operational semantics: s[x A a s] P [ass ns ] x := a, s s[x A a s] Example: {y*z<9} x:=y*z {x<9} What about {y*z<9 w=5} x:=y*z {w=5}? 7

8 Assignment rule [ass p ] { P} x := a { v.p[v/x] x=a[v/x] } A forward rule x := a always finishes Why is this true? s P s[v sx] P[v/x] 8

9 skip rule [skip p ] { P } skip { P } [skip ns ] skip, s s 9

10 Composition rule [comp p ] { P } S 1 { Q }, { Q } S 2 { R } { P } S 1 ; S 2 { R } [comp ns ] S 1, s s, S 2, s s S 1 ; S 2, s s Holds when S 1 terminates in every state where P holds and then Q holds and S 2 terminates in every state where Q holds and then R holds 10

11 Condition rule [if p ] { b P } S 1 { Q }, { b P } S 2 { Q } { P } if b then S 1 else S 2 { Q } [if tt ns] [if ff ns] S 1, s s if b then S 1 else S 2, s s S 2, s s if b then S 1 else S 2, s s if B b s = tt if B b s = ff 11

12 Loop rule [while p ] { b P } S { P } { P } while b do S { b P } [while ff ns] [while tt ns] while b do S, s s S, s s, while b do S, s s while b do S, s s if B b s = ff if B b s = tt Here P is called an invariant for the loop Holds before and after each loop iteration Finding loop invariants most challenging part of proofs When loop finishes, b is false 12

13 Rule of consequence [cons p ] { P } S { Q } { P } S { Q } if P P and Q Q Allows strengthening the precondition and weakening the postcondition The only rule that is not sensitive to the form of the statement 13

14 Rule of consequence [cons p ] { P } S { Q } { P } S { Q } if P P and Q Q Why do we need it? Allows the following {y*z<9} x:=y*z {x<9} {y*z<9 w=5} x:=y*z {x<10} 14

15 Axiomatic semantics for While Axiom for every primitive statement [ass p ] { P[a/x] } x := a { P } [skip p ] { P } skip { P } [comp p ] { P } S 1 { Q }, { Q } S 2 { R } { P } S 1 ; S 2 { R } Inference rule for every composed statement [if p ] [while p ] { b P } S 1 { Q }, { b P } S 2 { Q } { P } if b then S 1 else S 2 { Q } { b P } S { P } { P } while b do S { b P } [cons p ] { P } S { Q } { P } S { Q } if P P and Q Q 15

16 Properties of the semantics Equivalence What is the analog of program equivalence in axiomatic verification? Soundness Can we prove incorrect properties? Completeness Is there something we can t prove? 16

17 Valid assertions We say that { P } C { Q } is valid if for all states s, if s P and C, s s then s Q Denoted by p { P } C { Q } Q P s C C(P) s 17

18 Soundness and completeness The inference system is sound: p { P } C { Q } implies p { P } C { Q } The inference system is complete: p { P } C { Q } implies p { P } C { Q } 18

19 Soundness: Hoare logic is sound and (relatively) complete p { P } C { Q } implies p { P } C { Q } (Relative) completeness: p { P } C { Q } implies p { P } C { Q } Provided we can prove any implication R R 19

20 Soundness: Hoare logic is sound and (relatively) complete p { P } C { Q } implies p { P } C { Q } (Relative) completeness: p { P } C { Q } implies p { P } C { Q } Provided we can prove any implication R R FYI, nobody tells us how to find a proof 20

21 Is there an Algorithm? { x=n } y := 1; { x>0 y*x!=n! n x } while (x=1) do { x-1>0 (y*x)*(x-1)!=n! n (x-1) } y := y*x; { x-1>0 y*(x-1)!=n! n (x-1) } x := x 1 { y*x!=n! n>0 } Annotated programs provides a compact representation of inference trees 21

23 Predicate Transformers 23

24 Weakest liberal precondition A backward-going predicate transformer The weakest liberal precondition for Q is s wlp(c, Q) if and only if for all states s if C, s s then s Q Propositions: 1. p { wlp(c, Q) } C { Q } 2. If p { P } C { Q } then P wlp(c, Q) 24

25 Strongest postcondition A forward-going predicate transformer The strongest postcondition for P is s sp(p, C) if and only if there exists s such that if C, s s and s P 1. p { P } C { sp(p, C) } 2. If p { P } C { Q } then sp(p, C) Q 25

26 Predicate transformer semantics wlp and sp can be seen functions that transform predicates to other predicates wlp C : Predicate Predicate { P } C { Q } if and only if wlp C Q = P sp C : Predicate Predicate { P } C { Q } if and only if sp C P = Q 26

27 Hoare logic is (relatively) complete Proving p { P } C { Q } implies p { P } C { Q } is the same as proving p { wlp(c, Q) } C { Q } Suppose that p { P } C { Q } then (from proposition 2) P { wlp(c, Q) } [cons p ] { P } S { Q } { wlp(c, Q) } S { Q } 27

28 Calculating wlp 1. wlp(skip, Q) = Q 2. wlp(x := a, Q) = Q[a/x] 3. wlp(s 1 ; S 2, Q) = wlp(s 1, wlp(s 2, Q)) 4. wlp(if b then S 1 else S 2, Q) = (b wlp(s 1, Q)) ( b wlp(s 2, Q)) 5. wlp(while b do S, Q) =? hard to capture 28

29 Calculating wlp of a loop Idea: we know the following statements are semantically equivalent while b do S if b do (S; while b do S) else skip Let s try to substitute and calculate on wlp(while b do S, Q) = wlp(if b do (S; while b do S) else skip, Q) = (b wlp(s; while b do S, Q)) ( b wlp(skip, Q)) = (b wlp(s, wlp(while b do S, Q))) ( b Q) LoopInv = (b wlp(s, LoopInv)) ( b Q) We have a recurrence The loop invariant 29

30 Prove the following triple { timer 0 } while (timer > 0) do timer := timer 1 { timer = 0 } LoopInv = (b wlp(s, LoopInv)) ( b Q) Let s substitute LoopInv with timer 0 Show that timer 0 is equal to (timer>0 wlp(timer:=timer-1, timer 0)) (timer 0 timer=0) = (timer>0 (timer 0)[timer-1/timer]) (timer 0 timer=0) = (timer>0 timer-1 0) (timer 0 timer=0) = timer>0 timer=0 = timer 0 30

31 Issues with wlp-based proofs Requires backwards reasoning not very intuitive Backward reasoning is non-deterministic causes problems when While is extended with dynamically allocated heaps (aliasing) Also, a few more rules will be helpful 31

32 Conjunction rule [conj p ] { P } S { Q } { P } S { Q } { P P } S {Q Q } Not necessary (for completeness) but practically useful Starting point of extending Hoare logic to handle parallelism Related to Cartesian abstraction Will point this out when we learn it 32

33 Structural Rules [disj p ] { P } C { Q } { P } C { Q } { P P } C {Q Q } [exist p ] [univ p ] { P } C { Q } { v. P } C { v. Q } { P } C { Q } { v. P } C { v. Q } v FV(C) v FV(C) [Inv p ] { F } C { F } Mod(C) FV(F)={} Mod(C) = set of variables assigned to in sub-statements of C FV(F) = free variables of F 33

34 Invariance + Conjunction = Constancy [constancy p ] { P } C { Q } { F P } C { F Q } Mod(C) FV(F)={} Mod(C) = set of variables assigned to in sub-statements of C FV(F) = free variables of F 34

35 Floyd s strongest postcondition rule [ass Floyd ] { P } x := a { v. x=a[v/x] P[v/x] } where v is a fresh variable Example { z=x } x:=x+1 {? v. x=v+1 z=v } This rule is often considered problematic because it introduces a quantifier needs to be eliminated further on We will now see a variant of this rule 35

36 Small assignment axiom Create an explicit Skolem variable in precondition Then assign the resulting value to x First evaluate a in the precondition state (as a may access x) [ass floyd ] { x=v } x:=a { x=a[v/x] } where v FV(a) Examples: {x=n} x:=5*y {x=5*y} {x=n} x:=x+1 {x=n+1} {x=y} x:=y+1 {x=y+1} {x=n} x:=y+1 {x=y+1} [exist p ] { n. x=n} x:=y+1 { n. x=y+1} therefore {true} x:=y+1 {x=y+1} [constancy p ] {z=9} x:=y+1 {z=9 x=y+1} 36

37 Small assignment axiom [ass { x=v } x:=a { x=a[v/x] } floyd ] Examples: {x=n} x:=5*y {x=5*y} {x=n} x:=x+1 {x=n+1} where v FV(a) {x=n} x:=y+1 {x=y+1} [exist p ] { n. x=n} x:=y+1 { n. x=y+1} therefore {true} x:=y+1 {x=y+1} [constancy p ] {z=9} x:=y+1 {z=9 x=y+1} 43

38 Small assignment axiom [ass { x=v } x:=a { x=a[v/x] } floyd ] Examples: {x=n} x:=5*y {x=5*y} {x=n} x:=x+1 {x=n+1} where v FV(a) {x=n} x:=y+1 {x=y+1} [exist p ] { n. x=n} x:=y+1 { n. x=y+1} therefore {true} x:=y+1 {x=y+1} [constancy p ] {z=9} x:=y+1 {z=9 x=y+1} 44

39 Example 1: Absolute value program { } if x<0 then x := -x else skip { } 48

40 Absolute value program { x=v } if x<0 then { x=v x<0 } x := -x { x=-v x>0 } else { x=v x 0 } skip { x=v x 0 } { v<0 x=-v v 0 x=v} { x= v } 49

41 Example 2: Variable swap program { } t := x x := y y := t { } 50

42 Variable swap program { x=a y=b } t := x { x=a y=b t=a } x := y { x=b y=b t=a } y := t { x=b y=a t=a } { x=b y=a } // cons 51

43 Example 3: Axiomatizing data types S ::= x := a x := y[a] y[a] := x skip S 1 ; S 2 if b then S 1 else S 2 while b do S We added a new type of variables array variables Model array variable as a function y : Z Z We need the two following axioms: { y[x a](x) = a } { z x y[x a](z) = y(z) } 52

44 Array update rules (wp) S ::= x := a x := y[a] y[a] := x skip S 1 ; S 2 if b then S 1 else S 2 A very general approach allows handling many data types while b do S Treat an array assignment y[a] := x as an update to the array function y y := y[a x] meaning y = v. v=a? X : y(v) [array-update] { P[y[a x]/y] } y[a] := x { P } [array-load] { P[y(a)/x] } x := y[a] { P } 53

45 Array update rules (wp) example Treat an array assignment y[a] := x as an update to the array function y y := y[a x] meaning y = v. v=a? x : y(v) [array-update] { P[y[a x]/y] } y[a] := x { P } {x=y[i 7](i)} y[i]:=7 {x=y(i)} {x=7} y[i]:=7 {x=y(i)} [array-load] { P[y(a)/x] } x := y[a] { P } {y(a)=7} x:=y[a] {x=7} 54

46 Array update rules (sp) In both rules v, g, and b are fresh [array-update F ] { x=v y=g a=b } y[a] := x { y=g[b v] } [array-load F ] { y=g a=b } x := y[a] { x=g(b) } 55

47 Array-max program nums : array N : int // N stands for num s length { N 0 nums=orig_nums } x := 0 res := nums[0] while x < N if nums[x] > res then res := nums[x] x := x { x=n } 2. { m. (m 0 m<n) nums(m) res } 3. { m. m 0 m<n nums(m)=res } 4. { nums=orig_nums } 56

48 Array-max program nums : array N : int // N stands for num s length { N 0 nums=orig_nums } x := 0 res := nums[0] while x < N if nums[x] > res then res := nums[x] x := x + 1 Post 1 : { x=n } Post 2 : { nums=orig_nums } Post 3 : { m. 0 m<n nums(m) res } Post 4 : { m. 0 m<n nums(m)=res } 57

105 A Formal Semantics Let C R denotes the set of quadruples < 1, 2, 3, 4 > s.t. that when c executes on 1 with potential interferences by R it yields an intermediate state 2 followed by an intermediate state 3 and a final state 4 as usual 4 = when c does not terminate C R = {< 1, 2, 3, 4 > : : < 1, > R ( <C, > * 2 2 = 3 = 4, C : <C, > * <C, > ( ( 2 = 1 2 = ) ( 3 = 3 = ) 4 = ) <, 2, 3, 4 > C R ) c (p, R, G, Q) For every < 1, 2, 3, 4 > C R such that 1 p < 2, 3 > G If 4 : < 1, 4 > Q 123
