How to generate code for less_eq operation - isabelle

Question

I need to generate a code calculating all values greater or equal to some value:
datatype ty = A | B | C
instantiation ty :: order
begin
fun less_ty where
"A < x = (x = C)"
| "B < x = (x = C)"
| "C < x = False"
definition "(x :: ty) ≤ y ≡ x = y ∨ x < y"
instance
apply intro_classes
apply (metis less_eq_ty_def less_ty.elims(2) ty.distinct(3) ty.distinct(5))
apply (simp add: less_eq_ty_def)
apply (metis less_eq_ty_def less_ty.elims(2))
using less_eq_ty_def less_ty.elims(2) by fastforce
end
instantiation ty :: enum
begin
definition [simp]: "enum_ty ≡ [A, B, C]"
definition [simp]: "enum_all_ty P ≡ P A ∧ P B ∧ P C"
definition [simp]: "enum_ex_ty P ≡ P A ∨ P B ∨ P C"
instance
apply intro_classes
apply auto
by (case_tac x, auto)+
end
lemma less_eq_code_predI [code_pred_intro]:
"Predicate_Compile.contains {z. x ≤ z} y ⟹ x ≤ y"
(* "Predicate_Compile.contains {z. z ≤ y} x ⟹ x ≤ y"*)
by (simp_all add: Predicate_Compile.contains_def)
code_pred [show_modes] less_eq
by (simp add: Predicate_Compile.containsI)
values "{x. A ≤ x}"
(* values "{x. x ≤ C}" *)
It works fine. But the theory looks over-complicated. Also I can't calculate values less or equal to some value. If one will uncoment the 2nd part of less_eq_code_predI lemma, then less_eq will have only one mode i => i => boolpos.
Is there a simpler and more generic approach?
Can less_eq support i => o => boolpos and o => i => boolpos at the same time?
Is it possible not to declare ty as an instance of enum class? I can declare a function returning a set of elements greater or equal to some element:
fun ge_values where
"ge_values A = {A, C}"
| "ge_values B = {B, C}"
| "ge_values C = {C}"
lemma ge_values_eq_less_eq_ty:
"{y. x ≤ y} = ge_values x"
by (cases x; auto simp add: dual_order.order_iff_strict)
This would allow me to remove enum and code_pred stuff. But in this case I will not be able to use this function in the definition of other predicates. How to replace (≤) by ge_values in the following definition?
inductive pred1 where
"x ≤ y ⟹ pred1 x y"
code_pred [show_modes] pred1 .
I need pred1 to have at least i => o => boolpos mode.

Answer 1

The predicate compiler has an option inductify that tries to convert functional definitions into inductive ones. It is somewhat experimental and does not work in every case, so use it with care. In the above example, the type classes make the whole situation a bit more complicated. Here's what I managed to get working:
case_of_simps less_ty_alt: less_ty.simps
definition less_ty' :: "ty ⇒ ty ⇒ bool" where "less_ty' = (<)"
declare less_ty_alt [folded less_ty'_def, code_pred_def]
code_pred [inductify, show_modes] "less_ty'" .
values "{x. less_ty' A x}"
The first line convertes the pattern-matching equations into one with a case expression on the right. It uses the command case_of_simps from HOL-Library.Simps_Case_Conv.
Unfortunately, the predicate compiler seems to have trouble with compiling type class operations. At least I could not get it to work.
So the second line introduces a new constant for (<) on ty.
The attribute code_pred_def tells the predicate compiler to use the given theorem (namely less_ty_alt with less_ty' instead of (<)) as the "defining equation".
code_pred with the inductify option looks at the equation for less_ty' declared by code_pred_def and derives an inductive definition out of that. inductify usually works well with case expressions, constructors and quantifiers. Everything beyond that is at your own risk.
Alternatively, you could also manually implement the enumeration similar to ge_values and register the connection between (<) and ge_values with the predicate compiler. See the setup block at the end of the Predicate_Compile theory in the distribution for an example with Predicate.contains. Note however that the predicate compiler works best with predicates and not with sets. So you'd have to write ge_values in the predicate monad Predicate.pred.
