module FStar.List.Tot.Base

Pure total operations on lists

This module defines all pure and total operations on lists that can be used in specifications.


Base operations
val isEmpty:Unidentified product: [list 'a] (Tot bool)

[isEmpty l] returns [true] if and only if [l] is empty

val hd:Unidentified product: [l:l:list 'a:{Cons? l}] (Tot 'a)

[hd l] returns the first element of [l]. Requires [l] to be nonempty, at type-checking time. Named as in: OCaml, F#, Coq

val tail:Unidentified product: [l:l:list 'a:{Cons? l}] (Tot (list 'a))

[tail l] returns [l] without its first element. Requires, at type-checking time, that [l] be nonempty. Similar to: tl in OCaml, F#, Coq

val tl:Unidentified product: [l:l:list 'a:{Cons? l}] (Tot (list 'a))

[tl l] returns [l] without its first element. Requires, at type-checking time, that [l] be nonempty. Named as in: OCaml, F#, Coq

val last:Unidentified product: [l:l:list 'a:{Cons? l}] (Tot 'a)

[last l] returns the last element of [l]. Requires, at type-checking time, that [l] be nonempty. Named as in: Haskell

val init:Unidentified product: [l:l:list 'a:{Cons? l}] (Tot (list 'a))

[init l] returns [l] without its last element. Requires, at type-checking time, that [l] be nonempty. Named as in: Haskell

val length:Unidentified product: [list 'a] (Tot nat)

[length l] returns the total number of elements in [l]. Named as in: OCaml, F#, Coq

val nth:Unidentified product: [list 'a] Unidentified product: [nat] (Tot (option 'a))

[nth l n] returns the [n]-th element in list [l] (with the first element being the 0-th) if [l] is long enough, or [None] otherwise. Named as in: OCaml, F#, Coq

val index:Unidentified product: [#a:Type] Unidentified product: [l:list a] Unidentified product: [i:i:nat:{<(i, length l)}] (Tot a)

[index l n] returns the [n]-th element in list [l] (with the first element being the 0-th). Requires, at type-checking time, that [l] be of length at least [n+1].

val count:Unidentified product: [#a:eqtype] Unidentified product: [a] Unidentified product: [list a] (Tot nat)

[count x l] returns the number of occurrences of [x] in [l]. Requires, at type-checking time, the type of [a] to have equality defined. Similar to: [List.count_occ] in Coq.

val rev_acc:Unidentified product: [list 'a] Unidentified product: [list 'a] (Tot (list 'a))

[rev_acc l1 l2] appends the elements of [l1] to the beginning of [l2], in reverse order. It is equivalent to [append (rev l1) l2], but is tail-recursive. Similar to: [List.rev_append] in OCaml, Coq.

val rev:Unidentified product: [list 'a] (Tot (list 'a))

[rev l] returns the list [l] in reverse order. Named as in: OCaml, F#, Coq.

val append:Unidentified product: [list 'a] Unidentified product: [list 'a] (Tot (list 'a))

[append l1 l2] appends the elements of [l2] to the end of [l1]. Named as: OCaml, F#. Similar to: [List.app] in Coq.

let (op_At x y):append x y

Defines notation [@] for [append], as in OCaml, F# .

val snoc:Unidentified product: [(*(list 'a, 'a))] (Tot (list 'a))

[snoc (l, x)] adds [x] to the end of the list [l].

Note: We use an uncurried [snoc (l, x)] instead of the curried
[snoc l x]. This is intentional. If [snoc] takes a pair instead
of 2 arguments, it allows for a better pattern on
[lemma_unsnoc_snoc], which connects [snoc] and [unsnoc]. In
particular, if we had two arguments, then either the pattern would
either be too restrictive or would lead to over-triggering. More
context for this can be seen in the (collapsed and uncollapsed)
comments at https://github.com/FStarLang/FStar/pull/1560 
val flatten:Unidentified product: [list (list 'a)] (Tot (list 'a))

let ((fold_right_gtot (#a:Type) (#b:Type) (l:list a) (f:Unidentified product: [a] Unidentified product: [b] (GTot b)) (x:b)):(GTot b)):match l with []  -> x | (Prims.Cons hd tl)  -> f hd (fold_right_gtot tl f x)

[fold_right_gtot] is just like [fold_right], except f is a ghost function *

val fold_left2:Unidentified product: [f:(Unidentified product: ['a] Unidentified product: ['b] Unidentified product: ['c] (Tot 'a))] Unidentified product: [accu:'a] Unidentified product: [l1:(list 'b)] Unidentified product: [l2:(list 'c)] (Pure 'a ((requires (==(length l1, length l2)))) ((ensures ((fun _ -> True)))) (decreases l1))

val mem:Unidentified product: [#a:eqtype] Unidentified product: [a] Unidentified product: [list a] (Tot bool)

[mem x l] returns [true] if, and only if, [x] appears as an element of [l]. Requires, at type-checking time, the type of elements of [l] to have decidable equality. Named as in: OCaml. See also: List.In in Coq, which is propositional.

 Propositional membership (as in Coq). Does not require decidable
equality. 
let ((memP (#a:Type) (x:a) (l:list a)):(Tot Type0)):match l with []  -> False | (Prims.Cons y q)  -> \/(==(x, y), memP x q)

val existsb:Unidentified product: [#a:Type] Unidentified product: [f:(Unidentified product: [a] (Tot bool))] Unidentified product: [list a] (Tot bool)

[existsb f l] returns [true] if, and only if, there exists some element [x] in [l] such that [f x] holds.

 Filtering elements of a list [l] through a Boolean pure total
predicate [f] 
let ((mem_filter_spec (#a:Type) (f:(Unidentified product: [a] (Tot bool))) (m:list a) (u:option (x:unit:{hasEq a}))):(Tot Type0)):match u with None  -> True | (Some z)  -> forall x.{:pattern } ==>(mem x m, f x)

We would like to have a postcondition for [filter f l] saying that, for any element [x] of [filter f l], [f x] holds. To this end, we need to use [mem] as defined above, which would require the underlying type [a] of list elements to have decidable equality. However, we would still like to define [filter] on all element types, even those that do not have decidable equality. Thus, we define our postcondition as [mem_filter_spec f m u] below, where [m] is the intended [filter f l] and [u] indicates whether [a] has decidable equality ([None] if not). Requires, at type-checking time, [f] to be a pure total function.

val filter:Unidentified product: [#a:Type] Unidentified product: [f:(Unidentified product: [a] (Tot bool))] Unidentified product: [l:list a] (Tot (m:list a:{forall u.{:pattern } mem_filter_spec f m u}))

val mem_filter_forall:#a:eqtype -> f:(Unidentified product: [a] (Tot bool)) -> l:list a -> (Lemma ((requires True)) ((ensures (forall x.{:pattern } ==>(mem #a x (filter f l), f x)))) (Prims.Cons (SMTPat (filter f l)) (Prims.Nil )))

Postcondition on [filter f l] for types with decidable equality, stated with [forall]: for any element [x] of [filter f l], [f x] holds. Requires, at type-checking time, [f] to be a pure total function.

val for_all:Unidentified product: [(Unidentified product: ['a] (Tot bool))] Unidentified product: [list 'a] (Tot bool)

[for_all f l] returns [true] if, and only if, for all elements [x] appearing in [l], [f x] holds. Requires, at type-checking time, [f] to be a pure total function. Named as in: OCaml. Similar to: List.forallb in Coq

let ((for_all_mem (#a:eqtype) (f:(Unidentified product: [a] (Tot bool))) (l:list a)):(Lemma (<==>(for_all f l, (forall x.{:pattern } ==>(mem x l, f x)))))):match l with []  -> () | (Prims.Cons _ q)  -> for_all_mem f q

[tryFind f l] returns [Some x] for some element [x] appearing in [l] such that [f x] holds, or [None] only if no such [x] exists. Requires, at type-checking time, [f] to be a pure total function. Contrary to [find], [tryFind] provides no postcondition on its result.

val tryPick:Unidentified product: [(Unidentified product: ['a] (Tot (option 'b)))] Unidentified product: [list 'a] (Tot (option 'b))

[tryPick f l] returns [y] for some element [x] appearing in [l] such that [f x = Some y] for some y, or [None] only if [f x = None] for all elements [x] of [l]. Requires, at type-checking time, [f] to be a pure total function.

[splitAt] takes a natural number n and a list and returns a pair of the maximal prefix of l of size smaller than n and the rest of the list

val unsnoc:Unidentified product: [#a:Type] Unidentified product: [l:l:list a:{>(length l, 0)}] (Tot (*(list a, a)))

Requires, at type-checking time, [compare] to be a pure total function.

val compare_of_bool:Unidentified product: [#a:eqtype] Unidentified product: [(Unidentified product: [a] Unidentified product: [a] (Tot bool))] Unidentified product: [a] Unidentified product: [a] (Tot int)

[compare_of_bool] turns a strict order into a comparison function. More precisely, [compare_of_bool rel x y] returns a positive number if, and only if, x rel y holds.
