Specifying Boolean


Inductive reflect (P: Prop): bool Set :=
| reflect_t : P reflect P true
| reflect_f : ¬ P reflect P false.

Specifying ternary comparisons

note that Lt and Gt have the same meaning, i.e., not Eq
turning a comparison function into a Boolean test
Definition eqb_of_compare A (f: A A comparison): A A bool :=
  fun x ymatch f x y with Eqtrue | _false end.

Lemma eqb_of_compare_spec A f:
  ( a b: A, compare_spec (a=b) (f a b))
   a b, reflect (a=b) (eqb_of_compare f a b).
Proof. unfold eqb_of_compare. intros H a b. now case H; constructor. Qed.

lexicographic ternary comparison
Notation lex a b := match a with Eqb | LtLt | GtGt end.

Lemma lex_spec P Q R a b (H: RPQ):
  compare_spec P a compare_spec Q b compare_spec R (lex a b).
Proof.
  destruct 1; try (constructor; tauto).
  destruct 1; constructor; tauto.
Qed.

Lemma compare_lex_eq a b: lex a b = Eq a = Eq b = Eq.
Proof. destruct a; intuition discriminate. Qed.

Structure for types equiped with a Boolean equality and a comparison function.

Note that the specification of cmp is weak: we only have cmp a b = Eq a=b. As a consequence, the difference betwen Lt and Gt can only be used as a heuristic.
Structure cmpType := mk_cmp {
  carr:> Set;
  eqb: carr carr bool;
  _: x y, reflect (x=y) (eqb x y);
  cmp: carr carr comparison;
  _: x y, compare_spec (x=y) (cmp x y)
}.
Arguments cmp {c} x y.
Arguments eqb {c} x y.

Lemma eqb_spec (A: cmpType): x y: A, reflect (x=y) (eqb x y).
Proof. now case A. Qed.
Lemma cmp_spec (A: cmpType): x y: A, compare_spec (x=y) (cmp x y).
Proof. now case A. Qed.

building comparison types without providing an equality function
phantom identity to generate cmpTypes by unification (see ssreflect)
Definition cmp_id (A: cmpType) (X: Set) (_:X carr A): cmpType := A.
