(** * #<a name="syntax"></a># Syntax (pre-terms) *)
(** We use a locally nameless representation for Fsub, where bound
variables are represented as natural numbers (de Bruijn indices)
and free variables are represented as [atom]s. The type [atom],
defined in the [Atom] library, represents names: there are
infinitely many atoms, equality is decidable on atoms, and it is
possible to generate an atom fresh for any given finite set of
atoms.
We say that the definitions below define pre-types ([typ]) and
pre-expressions ([exp]), collectively pre-terms, since the
datatypes admit terms, such as [(typ_all typ_top (typ_bvar 3))],
where indices are unbound. A term is locally closed when it
contains no unbound indices.
Note that indices for bound type variables are distinct from
indices for bound expression variables. We make this explicit in
the definitions below of the opening operations. *)
Inductive typ : Set :=
| typ_top : typ
| typ_bvar : nat -> typ
| typ_fvar : atom -> typ
| typ_arrow : typ -> typ -> typ
| typ_all : typ -> typ -> typ

Inductive exp : Set :=
| exp_bvar : nat -> exp
| exp_fvar : atom -> exp
| exp_abs : typ -> exp -> exp
| exp_app : exp -> exp -> exp
| exp_tabs : typ -> exp -> exp
| exp_tapp : exp -> typ -> exp
.
(** We declare the constructors for indices and variables to be
coercions. For example, if Coq sees a [nat] where it expects an
[exp], it will implicitly insert an application of [exp_bvar];
similar behavior happens for [atom]s. Thus, we may write
[(exp_abs typ_top (exp_app 0 x))] instead of [(exp_abs typ_top
(exp_app (exp_bvar 0) (exp_fvar x)))]. *)

(* ********************************************************************** *)
(** * #<a name="open"></a># Opening terms *)
(** Opening replaces an index with a term. This operation is required
if we wish to work only with locally closed terms when going under
binders (e.g., the typing rule for [exp_abs]). It also
corresponds to informal substitution for a bound variable, which
occurs in the rule for beta reduction.
We need to define three functions for opening due the syntax of
Fsub, and we name them according to the following convention.
- [tt]: Denotes an operation involving types appearing in types.
- [te]: Denotes an operation involving types appearing in
expressions.
- [ee]: Denotes an operation involving expressions appearing in
expressions.
The notation used below for decidable equality on atoms and
natural numbers (e.g., [K === J]) is defined in the [Metatheory]
library. The order of arguments to each "open" function is the
same. For example, [(open_tt_rec K U T)] can be read as
"substitute [U] for index [K] in [T]."
Note that we assume that [U] is locally closed (and similarly for
the other opening functions). This assumption simplifies the
implementations of opening by letting us avoid shifting. Since
bound variables are indices, there is no need to rename variables
to avoid capture. Finally, we assume that these functions are
initially called with index zero and that zero is the only unbound
index in the term. This eliminates the need to possibly subtract
one in the case of indices. *)
Fixpoint open_tt_rec (K : nat) (U : typ) (T : typ) {struct T} : typ :=
match T with
| typ_top => typ_top
| typ_bvar J => if K === J then U else (typ_bvar J)
| typ_fvar X => typ_fvar X
| typ_arrow T1 T2 => typ_arrow (open_tt_rec K U T1) (open_tt_rec K U T2)
| typ_all T1 T2 => typ_all (open_tt_rec K U T1) (open_tt_rec (S K) U T2)
end.
Fixpoint open_te_rec (K : nat) (U : typ) (e : exp) {struct e} : exp :=
match e with
| exp_bvar i => exp_bvar i
| exp_fvar x => exp_fvar x
| exp_abs V e1 => exp_abs (open_tt_rec K U V) (open_te_rec K U e1)
| exp_app e1 e2 => exp_app (open_te_rec K U e1) (open_te_rec K U e2)
| exp_tabs V e1 => exp_tabs (open_tt_rec K U V) (open_te_rec (S K) U e1)
| exp_tapp e1 V => exp_tapp (open_te_rec K U e1) (open_tt_rec K U V)
end.
Fixpoint open_ee_rec (k : nat) (f : exp) (e : exp) {struct e} : exp :=
match e with
| exp_bvar i => if k === i then f else (exp_bvar i)
| exp_fvar x => exp_fvar x
| exp_abs V e1 => exp_abs V (open_ee_rec (S k) f e1)
| exp_app e1 e2 => exp_app (open_ee_rec k f e1) (open_ee_rec k f e2)
| exp_tabs V e1 => exp_tabs V (open_ee_rec k f e1)
| exp_tapp e1 V => exp_tapp (open_ee_rec k f e1) V
end.
(** Many common applications of opening replace index zero with an
expression or variable. The following definitions provide
convenient shorthands for such uses. Note that the order of
arguments is switched relative to the definitions above. For
example, [(open_tt T X)] can be read as "substitute the variable
[X] for index [0] in [T]" and "open [T] with the variable [X]."
Recall that the coercions above let us write [X] in place of
[(typ_fvar X)], assuming that [X] is an [atom]. *)
Definition open_tt T U := open_tt_rec 0 U T.
Definition open_te e U := open_te_rec 0 U e.
Definition open_ee e1 e2 := open_ee_rec 0 e2 e1.

(** * #<a name="lc"></a># Local closure *)
(** Recall that [typ] and [exp] define pre-terms; these datatypes
admit terms that contain unbound indices. A term is locally
closed, or syntactically well-formed, when no indices appearing in
it are unbound. The proposition [(type T)] holds when a type [T]
is locally closed, and [(expr e)] holds when an expression [e] is
locally closed.
The inductive definitions below formalize local closure such that
the resulting induction principles serve as structural induction
principles over (locally closed) types and (locally closed)
expressions. In particular, unlike the situation with pre-terms,
there are no cases for indices. Thus, these induction principles
correspond more closely to informal practice than the ones arising
from the definitions of pre-terms.
The interesting cases in the inductive definitions below are those
that involve binding constructs, e.g., [typ_all]. Intuitively, to
check if the pre-term [(typ_all T1 T2)] is locally closed we much
check that [T1] is locally closed, and that [T2] is locally closed
when opened with a variable. However, there is a choice as to how
many variables to quantify over. One possibility is to quantify
over only one variable ("existential" quantification), as in
<<
type_all : forall X T1 T2,
type T1 ->
type (open_tt T2 X) ->
type (typ_all T1 T2)
>> or we could quantify over as many variables as possible ("universal"
quantification), as in
<<
type_all : forall T1 T2,
type T1 ->
(forall X : atom, type (open_tt T2 X)) ->
type (typ_all T1 T2)
>> It is possible to show that the resulting relations are equivalent.
The former makes it easy to build derivations, while the latter
provides a strong induction principle. McKinna and Pollack used
both forms of this relation in their work on formalizing Pure Type
Systems.
We take a different approach here and use "cofinite
quantification": we quantify over all but finitely many variables.
This approach provides a convenient middle ground: we can build
derivations reasonably easily and get reasonably strong induction
principles. With some work, one can show that the definitions
below are equivalent to ones that use existential, and hence also
universal, quantification. *)

(** * #<a name="env"></a># Environments *)
(** In our presentation of System F with subtyping, we use a single
environment for both typing and subtyping assumptions. We
formalize environments by representing them as association lists
(lists of pairs of keys and values) whose keys are atoms.
The [Metatheory] and [Environment] libraries provide functions,
predicates, tactics, notations and lemmas that simplify working
with environments. The [Environment] library treats environments
as lists of type [list (atom * A)].
Since environments map [atom]s, the type [A] should encode whether
a particular binding is a typing or subtyping assumption. Thus,
we instantiate [A] with the type [binding], defined below. *)
Inductive binding : Set :=
| bind_sub : typ -> binding
| bind_typ : typ -> binding.
(** A binding [(X, bind_sub T)] records that a type variable [X] is a
subtype of [T], and a binding [(x, bind_typ U)] records that an
expression variable [x] has type [U].
We define an abbreviation [env] for the type of environments, and
an abbreviation [empty] for the empty environment.
Note: Each instance of [Notation] below defines an abbreviation
since the left-hand side consists of a single identifier that is
not in quotes. These abbreviations are used for both parsing (the
left-hand side is equivalent to the right-hand side in all
contexts) and printing (the right-hand side is pretty-printed as
the left-hand side). Since [nil] is normally a polymorphic
constructor whose type argument is implicit, we prefix the name
with "[@]" to signal to Coq that we are going to supply arguments
to [nil] explicitly. *)
Notation env := (list (atom * binding)).
Notation empty := (@nil (atom * binding)).
(** We also define a notation that makes it convenient to write one
element lists. This notation is useful because of our convention
for building environments; see the examples below. *)
Notation "[ x ]" := (x :: nil).
(** #<b>#Examples:#</b># We use a convention where environments are
never built using a cons operation [((x, a) :: E)] where [E] is
non-[nil]. This makes the shape of environments more uniform and
saves us from excessive fiddling with the shapes of environments.
For example, Coq's tactics sometimes distinguish between consing
on a new binding and prepending a one element list, even though
the two operations are convertible with each other.
Consider the following environments written in informal notation.
<<
1. (empty environment)
2. x : T
3. x : T, Y <: S
4. E, x : T, F
>> In the third example, we have an environment that binds an
expression variable [x] to [T] and a type variable [Y] to [S].
In Coq, we would write these environments as follows.
<<
1. empty
2. [(x, bind_typ T)]
3. [(Y, bind_sub S)] ++ [(x, bind_typ T)]
4. F ++ [(x, bind_typ T)] ++ E
>> The symbol "[++]" denotes list concatenation and associates to the
right. (That notation is defined in Coq's [List] library.) Note
that in Coq, environments grow on the left, since that is where
the head of a list is. *)
(* ********************************************************************** *)
(** * #<a name="wf"></a># Well-formedness *)
(** A type [T] is well-formed with respect to an environment [E],
denoted [(wf_typ E T)], when [T] is locally-closed and its free
variables are bound in [E]. We need this relation in order to
restrict the subtyping and typing relations, defined below, to
contain only well-formed types. (This relation is missing in the
original statement of the POPLmark Challenge.)
Note: It is tempting to define the premise of [wf_typ_var] as [(X
`in` dom E)], since that makes the rule easier to apply (no need
to guess an instantiation for [U]). Unfortunately, this is
incorrect. We need to check that [X] is bound as a type-variable,
not an expression-variable; [(dom E)] does not distinguish between
the two kinds of bindings. *)
Inductive wf_typ : env -> typ -> Prop :=
| wf_typ_top : forall E,
wf_typ E typ_top
| wf_typ_var : forall U E (X : atom),
binds X (bind_sub U) E ->

wf_typ ([(X, bind_sub T1)] ++ E) (open_tt T2 X)) ->
wf_typ E (typ_all T1 T2)
.
(** An environment E is well-formed, denoted [(wf_env E)], if each
atom is bound at most at once and if each binding is to a
well-formed type. This is a stronger relation than the [ok]
relation defined in the [Environment] library. We need this
relation in order to restrict the subtyping and typing relations,
defined below, to contain only well-formed environments. (This
relation is missing in the original statement of the POPLmark
Challenge.) *)
