CONTENTS

  Our artifact is a Coq formalization of the model of our Iris logic,
  together with a proof of adequacy (establishing that the model is
  faithful wrt the operational semantics) and a proof of soundness of
  the primitive rules of the logic wrt the model.

  NOTE: We have just mechanized the *soundness* of the *primitive*
  rules of Iris in Coq.  We have not mechanized the proofs of derived
  rules (i.e. those derivable from the primitive rules), nor have we
  mechanized the case study or other examples that are proven within
  the logic.  Proof outlines for the latter are given in the appendix
  that accompanied the POPL submission, and will be fleshed out even
  further for the final version of the appendix.

  The reason we focused on the primitive rules is that those are the
  rules whose soundness is proven by direct appeal to the semantic
  model of Iris.  For space reasons, we did not want to present the
  semantic model of Iris in any detail in the paper, but we still
  wanted to give the reader confidence in the results of the paper.
  With our Coq mechanization in hand, the reader can safely ignore the
  semantic model and instead focus on how to *use* the primitive rules
  of the logic (to derive more sophisticated rules or prove
  interesting examples).

  Mechanizing Iris proofs is a very interesting and important
  direction for future work, but it is beyond the scope of the paper.


  The folder is organized as follows:

  * core_lang.v contains the axioms about the language

  * lang.v defines the threadpool reduction and derives some lemmas
    from core_lang.v
  
  * world_prop_recdom.v uses the ModuRes Coq library to construct the domain
    for Iris propositions, satisfying the interface to the Iris domain
    defined in world_prop.v
  
  * iris_core.v constructs the BI structure on the Iris domain, and defines
    some additional connectives (box, later, ownership).
  
  * iris_plog.v adds the programming logic: World satisfaction, primitive view shifts,
    weakest precondition.
  
  * iris_vs_rules.v and iris_wp_rules.v contain proofs of the primitive proof
    rules for primitive view shifts and weakest precondition, respectively.
  
  * iris_derived_rules.v derives rules for Hoare triples and view shifts
    (as presented in the appendix).
  
  * iris_meta.v proves adequacy and the lifting lemmas

  The development uses ModuRes, a Coq library by Sieczkowski et al. to
  solve the recursive domain equation (see the paper for a reference)
  and prove some of the standard separation logic rules. It is located
  in the lib/ subdirectory.


REQUIREMENTS

  Coq 

  We have tested the development using Coq 8.4pl4 on Linux and Mac
  machines. The entire compilation took less than 15 minutes.
  

HOW TO COMPILE

  To compile the development, run
  
  > make -j

  in the folder containing this README.
