A Certified Interpreter for ML with Structural Polymorphism

Jacques Garrigue, updated April 2020

The files in this archive contain a proof of type soundness for structural polymorphism based on local constraints [1], together with soundness and principality of the type inference algorithm, and a certified interpreter. See the support page for detailed information.

I started from a proof of type soundness for core ML by Arthur Chargueraud, which accompanied "Engineering formal metatheory" [2]. The library files (Lib_* and Metatheory*) are almost untouched. For compatibility we also copied FSetList.v from Coq 8.2.

The new files are as follows.

  • Metatheory_SP: new generic lemmas used in developments
  • Cardinal: lemmas about finite set cardinals
  • ML_SP_Definitions: basic definitions
  • ML_SP_Infrastructure: structural lemmas on kinds and types
  • ML_SP_Soundness: lemmas on derivations and proof of type soundness
  • ML_SP_Eval: proof of type soundness for a stack-based evaluator
  • ML_SP_Rename: renaming lemmas, and Gc elimination
  • ML_SP_Unify: soundness and completeness of unification
  • ML_SP_Inference: soundness and principality of type inference
  • ML_SP_Domain: instantiation of all the above proofs to polymorphic variants
  • ML_SP_Unify/Inference_wf: termination counters are in Prop

Of the above, Definitions, Infrastructure and Soundness are base on the core ML proof, but were heavily modified. Eval, Unify, Inference and Domain are completely new.

All the above development were checked with coq 8.11.0. (Porting to 8.11.0 is the only change wrt. the version of september 2010) You can compile them with "sh build.sh"

You can also play with the type checker. It does not work inside Coq at this point, but you should compile typinf.mli and typinf.ml (obtained by running Extraction.v), and look at use_typinf.ml for how to use them. (It contains a number of petty printers and conversion functions that make things easier).

Here are all the steps: (the first 3 steps are optional)

$ sh mkmakefile.sh
$ make Extraction.vo
$ make html
$ ocamlc -c typinf.mli
$ ocamlc -c typinf.ml
$ ocaml
        Objective Caml version ...
# #use "use_typinf.ml";;
