Dafny:复制数组区域方法验证

Dafny: copy array region method validation

我正在对几种在考虑验证的情况下创建的语言(Whiley、Dafny 和 Frama-C 等)进行语言比较。我得到了一个函数示例,该函数将一个数组的区域复制到另一个数组目标数组中的不同位置。我想出的规范在 Dafny 中看起来像这样:

method copy( src: array<int>, sStart: nat, dest: array<int>, dStart: nat, len: nat)
    returns (r: array<int>)
  // both arrays cannot be null
   requires dest != null && src != null
  // Source array must contain enough elements to be copied
   requires src.Length >= sStart + len
  // Destination array must have enough space for copied elements
   requires dest.Length >= dStart + len
  // Result is same size as dest
  ensures r != null
  ensures r.Length == dest.Length
  // All elements before copied region are same
   ensures r[..dStart] == dest[..dStart]
  // All elements above copied region are same
   ensures r[dStart + len..] == dest[dStart + len..]
  // All elements in copied region match src
   ensures forall k: nat :: k < len ==> r[dStart + k] == src[sStart + k]

{
    if len == 0 { return dest; }
    assert len > 0;
    var i: nat := 0;
    r := new int[dest.Length];
    while (i < r.Length)
      invariant i <= r.Length
      decreases r.Length - i
      invariant r.Length == dest.Length
      invariant forall k: nat :: k < i ==> r[k] == dest[k]
    {
        r[i] := dest[i];
        i := i + 1;
    }
    assume r[..] == dest[..];
    i := 0;
    while (i < len)
      invariant i <= len
      decreases len - i
      invariant r.Length == dest.Length
      invariant r.Length >= dStart + i
      invariant src.Length >= sStart + i
      invariant r[..dStart] == dest[..dStart]
      invariant r[(dStart + len)..] == dest[(dStart + len)..]
      invariant forall k: nat :: k < i ==> r[dStart + k] == src[sStart + k]
    {
        r[dStart + i] := src[sStart + i];
        i := i + 1;
    }
}

在上面的第二个 while 循环中,可能有一些不需要的不变量,因为我已经尽力涵盖了我能想到的所有内容。但是,是的,这并没有证实,我很困惑为什么...

你可以通过添加一个不变量来验证它

invariant r[dStart .. dStart + i] == src[sStart .. sStart + i]

如:

while (i < len)
  invariant i <= len
  decreases len - i
  invariant r.Length == dest.Length
  invariant r.Length >= dStart + i
  invariant src.Length >= sStart + i
  invariant r[..dStart] == dest[..dStart]
  invariant r[(dStart + len)..] == dest[(dStart + len)..]
  invariant r[dStart .. dStart + i] == src[sStart .. sStart + i]
  invariant forall k: nat :: k < i ==> r[dStart + k] == src[sStart + k]

顺便说一句,我认为如果你愿意,你可以删除许多不变量

method copy( src: array<int>, sStart: nat, dest: array<int>, dStart: nat, len: nat)
    returns (r: array<int>)
  // both arrays cannot be null
   requires dest != null && src != null
  // Source array must contain enough elements to be copied
   requires src.Length >= sStart + len
  // Destination array must have enough space for copied elements
   requires dest.Length >= dStart + len
  // Result is same size as dest
  ensures r != null
  ensures r.Length == dest.Length
  // All elements before copied region are same
   ensures r[..dStart] == dest[..dStart]
  // All elements above copied region are same
   ensures r[dStart + len..] == dest[dStart + len..]
  // All elements in copied region match src
   ensures forall k: nat :: k < len ==> r[dStart + k] == src[sStart + k]

{
    if len == 0 { return dest; }
    var i: nat := 0;
    r := new int[dest.Length];
    while (i < r.Length)
      invariant i <= r.Length
      invariant r[..i] == dest[..i]
    {
        r[i] := dest[i];
        i := i + 1;
    }

    i := 0;
    while (i < len)
      invariant i <= len
      invariant r[..dStart] == dest[..dStart]
      invariant r[(dStart + len)..] == dest[(dStart + len)..]
      invariant r[dStart .. dStart + i] == src[sStart .. sStart + i]
      {
        r[dStart + i] := src[sStart + i];
        i := i + 1;
    }
}
