(* A constructive implementation using bounded iteration. *) Module PrimIter: ITER. Section ITERATION. Variables A B: Set. Variable step: A -> B + A. (** The [step] parameter represents one step of the iteration. From a current iteration state [a: A], it either returns a value of type [B], meaning that iteration is over and that this [B] value is the final result of the iteration, or a value [a' : A] which is the next state of the iteration. The naive way to define the iteration is: << Fixpoint iterate (a: A) : B := match step a with | inl b => b | inr a' => iterate a' end. >> However, this is a general recursion, not guaranteed to terminate, and therefore not expressible in Coq. The standard way to work around this difficulty is to use Noetherian recursion (Coq module [Wf]). This requires that we equip the type [A] with a well-founded ordering [<] (no infinite ascending chains) and we demand that [step] satisfies [step a = inr a' -> a < a']. For the types [A] that are of interest to us in this development, it is however very painful to define adequate well-founded orderings, even though we know our iterations always terminate. Instead, we choose to bound the number of iterations by an arbitrary constant. [iterate] then becomes a function that can fail, of type [A -> option B]. The [None] result denotes failure to reach a result in the number of iterations prescribed, or, in other terms, failure to find a solution to the dataflow problem. The compiler passes that exploit dataflow analysis (the [Constprop], [CSE] and [Allocation] passes) will, in this case, either fail ([Allocation]) or turn off the optimization pass ([Constprop] and [CSE]). Since we know (informally) that our computations terminate, we can take a very large constant as the maximal number of iterations. Failure will therefore never happen in practice, but of course our proofs also cover the failure case and show that nothing bad happens in this hypothetical case either. *) Definition num_iterations := 1000000000000%positive.
