call-alloy
This is a simple library to call Alloy given a specification. This package installs a simple Java Library to make an API call to the Alloy Library. Alloy is installed (as JAR file) alongside this library as well.
Requirements
- Java Runtime Environment: There is currently no warning if you have not set up any Java Runtime Environment. However, you will get runtime errors if it is not available when a call to Alloy happens. If you want to force a check, perform the test cases.
Please note
The Java interface to get Alloy instances as well as the Alloy Jar file are installed together with this library using usual cabal means (data directory).
The library in action
This is a basic description on how to use the library.
A specification example
Consider this Alloy specification of a simple Graph:
abstract sig Node {
flow : Node -> lone Int,
stored : one Int
} {
stored >= 0
all n : Node | some flow[n] implies flow[n] >= 0
no flow[this]
}
fun currentFlow(x, y : one Node) : Int {
let s = x.stored, f = x.flow[y] | s < f implies s else f
}
pred withFlow[x, y : one Node] {
currentFlow[x, y] > 0
}
pred show {}
run withFlow for 3 Int, 2 Node
The graph is consisting of Node
s, which might have some goods stored
and may deliver them to other Node
s (via flow
).
Node
s do not have flow
to themselves.
The currentFlow
is the minimum between the flow from the starting Node
to the end Node
and the currently stored
goods at the starting Node
(note: intermediate Node
s are not allowed).
We call two Nodes
x
and y
withFlow
if currentFlow
from x
to y
is greater than 0
.
We restrict our search to 3
-Bit signed Int
values and 2
Nodes
.
An instance example
Calling Alloy using getInstances
and the above program
could return the following (abbreviated) instance:
[(Signature {
scope = Nothing,
sigName = "$withFlow_x"
},
Entry {
annotation = Just Skolem,
relation = fromList [
("",Single (fromList [Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 1}]))
]
}),
(Signature {
scope = Nothing,
sigName = "$withFlow_y"
},
Entry {
annotation = Just Skolem,
relation = fromList [
("",Single (fromList [Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 0}]))
]
}),
...
(Signature {
scope = Just "this",
sigName = "Node"
},
Entry {
annotation = Nothing,
relation = fromList [
("",Single (fromList [
Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 0},
Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 1}
])),
("flow",Triple (fromList [
(Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 0},Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 1},NumberObject {number = 0}),
(Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 1},Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 0},NumberObject {number = 3})
])),
("stored",Double (fromList [
(Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 0},NumberObject {number = 0}),
(Object {objSig = "Node", identifier = 1},NumberObject {number = 1})
]))
]
})
]
A retrieval example
Using this library we may retrieve returned signature values using lookupSig
,
then query parameter variables of the queried predicate using unscoped
,
and query signature sets and relations using getSingleAs
, getDoubleAs
, and getTripleAs
.
The following Code might for instance be used for the graph example:
newtype Node = Node Int deriving (Eq, Show, Ord)
instanceToNames
:: AlloyInstance
-> Either String (Set Node, Set (Node, Int), Set (Node, Node, Int), Set (Node), Set (Node))
instanceToNames insta = do
let node :: String -> Int -> Either String Node
node = object "Node" Node
n <- lookupSig (scoped "this" "Node") insta
nodes <- getSingleAs "" node n
store <- getDoubleAs "stored" node int n
flow <- getTripleAs "flow" node node int n
x <- lookupSig (unscoped "$withFlow_x") insta >>= getSingleAs "" node
y <- lookupSig (unscoped "$withFlow_y") insta >>= getSingleAs "" node
return (nodes, store, flow, x, y)
Calling instanceToNames
on the above instance would result in the following expression:
Right (
fromList [Node 0,Node 1],
fromList [(Node 0,0),(Node 1,1)],
fromList [(Node 0,Node 1,0),(Node 1,Node 0,3)],
fromList [Node 1],
fromList [Node 0]
)
