# IRIS COQ DEVELOPMENT [[coqdoc]](https://plv.mpi-sws.org/coqdoc/iris/)
This is the Coq development of the [Iris Project](http://iris-project.org),
which includes [MoSeL](http://iris-project.org/mosel/), a general proof mode
for carrying out separation logic proofs in Coq.
For using the Coq library, check out the
[API documentation](https://plv.mpi-sws.org/coqdoc/iris/).
For understanding the theory of Iris, a LaTeX version of the core logic
definitions and some derived forms is available in
[tex/iris.tex](tex/iris.tex). A compiled PDF version of this document is
[available online](http://plv.mpi-sws.org/iris/appendix-3.2.pdf).
- A development version of [std++](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/stdpp)
For a version compatible with Coq 8.6, have a look at the
[iris-3.1 branch](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/tree/iris-3.1).
[iris-3.0 branch](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/tree/iris-3.0).
To use Iris in your own proofs, we recommend you install Iris via opam (1.2.2 or
newer). To obtain the latest stable release, you have to add the Coq opam
repository:
opam repo add coq-released https://coq.inria.fr/opam/released
To obtain a development version, also add the Iris opam repository:
opam repo add iris-dev https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/opam.git
Either way, you can now do `opam install coq-iris`. To fetch updates later, run
`opam update && opam upgrade`. However, notice that we do not guarnatee
backwards-compatibility, so upgrading Iris may break your Iris-using
developments.
To work on Iris itself, you need to install its build-dependencies. Again we
recommend you do that with opam (1.2.2 or newer). This requires the following
two repositories:
opam repo add iris-dev https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/opam.git
Once you got opam set up, run `make build-dep` to install the right versions
of the dependencies.
Run `make -jN` to build the full development, where `N` is the number of your
CPU cores.
To update Iris, do `git pull`. After an update, the development may fail to
compile because of outdated dependencies. To fix that, please run `opam update`
followed by `make build-dep`.
* The folder [algebra](theories/algebra) contains the COFE and CMRA
constructions as well as the solver for recursive domain equations.
* The folder [base_logic](theories/base_logic) defines the Iris base logic and
the primitive connectives. It also contains derived constructions that are
entirely independent of the choice of resources.
* The subfolder [lib](theories/base_logic/lib) contains some generally useful
derived constructions. Most importantly, it defines composeable
dynamic resources and ownership of them; the other constructions depend
on this setup.
* The folder [program_logic](theories/program_logic) specializes the base logic
to build Iris, the program logic. This includes weakest preconditions that
are defined for any language satisfying some generic axioms, and some derived
constructions that work for any such language.
* The folder [bi](theories/bi) contains the BI++ laws, as well as derived
connectives, laws and constructions that are applicable for general BIS.
* The folder [proofmode](theories/proofmode) contains
[MoSeL](http://iris-project.org/mosel/), which extends Coq with contexts for
intuitionistic and spatial BI++ assertions. It also contains tactics for
interactive proofs. Documentation can be found in
* The folder [heap_lang](theories/heap_lang) defines the ML-like concurrent heap
language
* The subfolder [lib](theories/heap_lang/lib) contains a few derived
constructions within this language, e.g., parallel composition.
For more examples of using Iris and heap_lang, have a look at the
* The folder [tests](theories/tests) contains modules we use to test our
infrastructure. Users of the Iris Coq library should *not* depend on these
modules; they may change or disappear without any notice.
The following is a (probably incomplete) list of case studies that use Iris, and
that should be compatible with this version:
* [Iris Examples](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/examples) is where we
collect miscellaneous case studies that do not have their own repository.
* [LambdaRust](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/lambda-rust) is a Coq
* [GPFSL](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/gpfsl) is a logic for release-acquire
and relaxed memory.
* [Iron](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iron) is a linear separation logic
built on top of Iris for precise reasoning about resources (such as making

Getting along with Iris in Coq:
* Iris proof patterns are documented in the [proof guide](docs/proof_guide.md).
* Syntactic conventions are described in the [style guide](docs/style_guide.md).
* The Iris tactics are described in the
[the Iris Proof Mode (IPM) / MoSeL documentation](docs/proof_mode.md) as well as the
[HeapLang documentation](docs/heap_lang.md).
* The generated coqdoc is [available online](https://plv.mpi-sws.org/coqdoc/iris/).
Contacting the developers:
* Discussion about the Iris Coq development happens on the mailing list
[iris-club@lists.mpi-sws.org](https://lists.mpi-sws.org/listinfo/iris-club)
and in the [Iris Chat](https://mattermost.mpi-sws.org/iris). This is also the
right place to ask questions. The chat requires an account at the
[MPI-SWS GitLab](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/users/sign_in) (use the "Register"
tab). If you have trouble joining the chat, please contact
[Ralf](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/jung).
[issue tracker](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/issues), which also
requires an MPI-SWS GitLab account.
