Operational semantics


The semantics uses two environments. The global environment maps names of functions and global variables to memory block references, and function pointers to their definitions. (See module Globalenvs.) It also contains a composite environment, used by type-dependent operations.

Record genv := { genv_genv :> Genv.t fundef type; genv_cenv :> composite_env }.

Definition globalenv (p: program) :=
  {| genv_genv := Genv.globalenv p; genv_cenv := p.(prog_comp_env) |}.

The local environment maps local variables to block references and types. The current value of the variable is stored in the associated memory block.

Definition env := PTree.t (block * type).

Definition empty_env: env := (PTree.empty (block * type)).


Section SEMANTICS.

Variable ge: genv.

deref_loc ty m b ofs t v computes the value of a datum of type ty residing in memory m at block b, offset ofs. If the type ty indicates an access by value, the corresponding memory load is performed. If the type ty indicates an access by reference, the pointer Vptr b ofs is returned. v is the value returned, and t the trace of observables (nonempty if this is a volatile access).

Inductive deref_loc (ty: type) (m: mem) (b: block) (ofs: int) : trace -> val -> Prop :=
  | deref_loc_value: forall chunk v,
      access_mode ty = By_value chunk ->
      type_is_volatile ty = false ->
      Mem.loadv chunk m (Vptr b ofs) = Some v ->

  | deref_loc_copy:
      access_mode ty = By_copy ->
      deref_loc ty m b ofs E0 (Vptr b ofs).

Symmetrically, assign_loc ty m b ofs v t m' returns the memory state after storing the value v in the datum of type ty residing in memory m at block b, offset ofs. This is allowed only if ty indicates an access by value or by copy. m' is the updated memory state and t the trace of observables (nonempty if this is a volatile store).

Inductive assign_loc (ty: type) (m: mem) (b: block) (ofs: int):

Allocation of function-local variables. alloc_variables e1 m1 vars e2 m2 allocates one memory block for each variable declared in vars, and associates the variable name with this block. e1 and m1 are the initial local environment and memory state. e2 and m2 are the final local environment and memory state.

Initialization of local variables that are parameters to a function. bind_parameters e m1 params args m2 stores the values args in the memory blocks corresponding to the variables params. m1 is the initial memory state and m2 the final memory state.

Reduction semantics for expressions


Section EXPR.

Variable e: env.

The semantics of expressions follows the popular Wright-Felleisen style. It is a small-step semantics that reduces one redex at a time. We first define head reductions (at the top of an expression, then use reduction contexts to define reduction within an expression.

Head reduction for l-values.

Inductive lred: expr -> mem -> expr -> mem -> Prop :=
  | red_var_local: forall x ty m b,
      e!x = Some(b, ty) ->

Reduction contexts. In accordance with C's nondeterministic semantics, we allow reduction both to the left and to the right of a binary operator. To enforce C's notion of sequence point, reductions within a conditional a ? b : c can only take place in a, not in b nor c; reductions within a sequential "or" / "and" a && b or a || b can only take place in a, not in b; and reductions within a sequence a, b can only take place in a, not in b. Reduction contexts are represented by functions C from expressions to expressions, suitably constrained by the context from to C predicate below. Contexts are "kinded" with respect to l-values and r-values: from is the kind of the hole in the context and to is the kind of the term resulting from filling the hole.

In a nondeterministic semantics, expressions can go wrong according to one reduction order while being defined according to another. Consider for instance (x = 1) + (10 / x) where x is initially 0. This expression goes wrong if evaluated right-to-left, but is defined if evaluated left-to-right. Since our compiler is going to pick one particular evaluation order, we must make sure that all orders are safe, i.e. never evaluate a subexpression that goes wrong. Being safe is a stronger requirement than just not getting stuck during reductions. Consider f() + (10 / x), where f() does not terminate. This expression is never stuck because the evaluation of f() can make infinitely many transitions. Yet it contains a subexpression 10 / x that can go wrong if x = 0, and the compiler may choose to evaluate 10 / x first, before calling f(). Therefore, we must make sure that not only an expression cannot get stuck, but none of its subexpressions can either. We say that a subexpression is not immediately stuck if it is a value (of the appropriate kind) or it can reduce (at head or within).

Execution states of the program are grouped in 4 classes corresponding to the part of the program we are currently executing. It can be a statement (State), an expression (ExprState), a transition from a calling function to a called function (Callstate), or the symmetrical transition from a function back to its caller (Returnstate).

We separate the transition rules in two groups: This makes it easy to express different reduction strategies for expressions: the second group of rules can be reused as is.

Whole-program semantics


Execution of whole programs are described as sequences of transitions from an initial state to a final state. An initial state is a Callstate corresponding to the invocation of the ``main'' function of the program without arguments and with an empty continuation.

Inductive initial_state (p: program): state -> Prop :=
  | initial_state_intro: forall b f m0,
      let ge := globalenv p in
      Genv.init_mem p = Some m0 ->
      Genv.find_symbol ge p.(prog_main) = Some b ->
      Genv.find_funct_ptr ge b = Some f ->
      type_of_fundef f = Tfunction Tnil type_int32s cc_default ->
      initial_state p (Callstate f nil Kstop m0).

A final state is a Returnstate with an empty continuation.

Inductive final_state: state -> int -> Prop :=
  | final_state_intro: forall r m,
      final_state (Returnstate (Vint r) Kstop m) r.

Wrapping up these definitions in a small-step semantics.

Definition semantics (p: program) :=
  Semantics_gen step (initial_state p) final_state (globalenv p) (globalenv p).

This semantics has the single-event property.

  forall p, single_events (semantics p).
