    Fine-grained post-conditions for forked-off threads. · ebf06f91
    Robbert Krebbers authored
    This commit extends the state interpretation with an additional parameter to
    talk about the number of forked-off threads, and a fixed postcondition for each
    forked-off thread:
        state_interp : Λstate → list Λobservation → nat → iProp Σ;
        fork_post : iProp Σ;
    This way, instead of having `True` as the post-condition of `Fork`, one can
    have any post-condition, which is then recorded in the state interpretation.
    The point of keeping track of the postconditions of forked-off threads, is that
    we get an (additional) stronger adequacy theorem:
        Theorem wp_strong_all_adequacy Σ Λ `{invPreG Σ} s e σ1 v vs σ2 φ :
           (∀ `{Hinv : invG Σ} κs,
             (|={⊤}=> ∃
                 (stateI : state Λ → list (observation Λ) → nat → iProp Σ)
                 (fork_post : iProp Σ),
               let _ : irisG Λ Σ := IrisG _ _ _ Hinv stateI fork_post in
               stateI σ1 κs 0 ∗ WP e @ s; ⊤ {{ v,
                 let m := length vs in
                 stateI σ2 [] m -∗ [∗] replicate m fork_post ={⊤,∅}=∗ ⌜ φ v ⌝ }})%I) →
          rtc erased_step ([e], σ1) (of_val <$> v :: vs, σ2) →
          φ v.
    The difference with the ordinary adequacy theorem is that this one only applies
    once all threads terminated. In this case, one gets back the post-conditions
    `[∗] replicate m fork_post` of all forked-off threads.
    In Iron we showed that we can use this mechanism to make sure that all
    resources are disposed of properly in the presence of fork-based concurrency.
