-- From @joehendrix -- The imul doesn't type check as Lean won't try to coerce from a reg (bv 64) to a expr (bv ?u) inductive MCType | bv : Nat → MCType open MCType inductive Reg : MCType → Type | rax (n : Nat) : Reg (bv n) inductive Expr : MCType → Type | r : ∀{tp:MCType}, Reg tp → Expr tp | sextC {s:Nat} (x : Expr (bv s)) (t:Nat) : Expr (bv t) instance reg_is_expr {tp:MCType} : Coe (Reg tp) (Expr tp) := ⟨Expr.r⟩ def bvmul {w:Nat} (x y : Expr (bv w)) : Expr (bv w) := x /- Remark: Joe's original example used the following definition. ``` def sext {s:Nat} (x : Expr (bv s)) (t:Nat) : Expr (bv t) := Expr.sextC x t ``` This definition is bad because the parameter `s` is unconstrained. Type class resolution gets stuck at ``` CoeT (Reg (bv 64)) (Reg.rax 64) (Expr (bv ?m_1)) ``` It would have to set `?m_1 := 64` which is not allowed since TC should not change external TC metavariables. I fixed the problem by changing the definition. Now, type inference will enforce that `?m_1` must be 64, and TC will be able to synthesize the instance. -/ def sext {s:Nat} (x : Expr (bv s)) (n:Nat) : Expr (bv (s+n)) := Expr.sextC x (s+n) open MCType variable {u:Nat} (e : Expr (bv 64)) #check (bvmul (sext (Reg.rax 64) 64) (sext e 64) : Expr (bv 128))
