Fix: Wording of assertion failure closer to semantics #3324

MikaelMayer · 2023-01-04T22:13:44Z

This PR fixes #3216
It completely replaces the wording ".... might not hold" by "could not prove..."

There are many reasons for that: We already use the wording "could not prove..." in other places and, funny enough, we (I) previously justified the introduction of "might not hold" by

fix: The error "assertion violation" is replaced by the better wording "assertion might not hold". This indicates better that the verifier is unable to prove the assertion.

If we replace "might not hold" by "could not prove", then "might not hold" does not requires explanation anymore.
I got also several complaints from the wording that, although softer than the previous "assertion violation", still indicates a point where Dafny is unsure what to do.

Moreover, the implication of "assertion might not hold" places the doubt on the programmer, which can be frustrating: If the programmer wants to find Dafny's counter-examples, he would be upset to discover they are incomplete, and that their assertion is actually valid. Saying "Could not prove" shifts the doubt from the programmer to Dafny by finally recognizing that the programmer might hit a limitation of Dafny and perhaps just need to introduce things to help Dafny prove its result. It also emphasizes the need to "prove" rather than the "make the assertion hold".

Moreover, we did a first test of having "Could not prove" at the beginning of the error message, but this is uninformative as now most error messages would start by "could not prove", so we thought it was better to use the passive voice so that the kind of error can be spot in the first two words as usual.

Here are the messages that were replaced: (before/after)

Could not prove this assertion
this assertion could not be proven

This postcondition might not hold on a return path
this postcondition could not be proven on a return path

A postcondition might not hold on this return path
a postcondition could not be proven on this return path

the calculation step between the previous line and this line might not hold
the calculation step between the previous line and this line could not be proven

This loop invariant might not hold on entry
this loop invariant could not be proven on entry

A precondition for this call might not hold
a precondition for this call could not be proven

This is the precondition that might not hold
this is the precondition that could not be proven

Error: assertion might not hold
Error: assertion could not be proven

Error: function precondition might not hold
Error: function precondition could not be proven

could not prove this precondition.
this precondition could not be proven

I also made the error homogeneous by removing the first capital letter (errors messages are always prefixed by "Error: "), and remove the final periods because they are not needed in error messages that don't start with a capital letter (and can lead to confusion if the error message ends with a name), and could be added as post-processing if it was needed, e.g. in a report.
So I changed:

divisor is always non-zero.
divisor is always non-zero

This assertion holds.
this assertion holds

All preconditions hold for this call.
all preconditions hold for this call

This precondition holds.
this precondition holds

All postconditions hold for this return path.
all postconditions hold for this return path

This postcondition holds.
this postcondition holds

this postcondition could not be proven.
this postcondition could not be proven

This loop invariant holds on entry.
this loop invariant holds on entry

This loop invariant is maintained by the loop.
this loop invariant is maintained by the loop

This loop invariant might not be maintained by the loop.
this loop invariant might not be maintained by the loop

I also changed the UserGuide.md to reflect this wording, section verification debugging.

Will be merged after #3324

If you are going with the lower case style, then remove the ending periods as well

It is usually in a full sentence, though, of the form "Error: here is something in lowercase."

Yes, but the style in dafny elsewhere is predominantly to start with lower-case and not have a period, except when there are clearly multiple sentences. I'm not wedded to this style, and am open to a team discussion, but I'd like it to be consistent.

Ah, good point. I'm fine with leaving out the periods.

Looks good!

This PR is the companion of dafny-lang/dafny#3324 We established numerous times this year that the wording "might not hold" still incorrectly provides the feeling that the postcondition is incorrect. Rather than focusing on whether assertions hold or not, this PR fixes the status by focusing on the fact that the verifier was not able to prove the assertion.

* Fix: Error wording closer to semantics This PR is the companion of dafny-lang/dafny#3324 We established numerous times this year that the wording "might not hold" still incorrectly provides the feeling that the postcondition is incorrect. Rather than focusing on whether assertions hold or not, this PR fixes the status by focusing on the fact that the verifier was not able to prove the assertion. * Fixed tests * proven => proved. Fixed tests * Fixed one more en->ed * Fixed a test * Fixed all the boogie files with messages inline * Fixed 3 more tests * Fixed last 2 CI errors * Support for the last two CI tests * Wording for invariants as well

- Added the trace of proof even in successes - Replaced intermediate "Could not prove" and "Did prove" by "Inside " to indicate this is just a trace - Use backticks to indicate quoted code - Better error message instead of "error is impossible: This is the precondition that might not hold" - First-class support of {:error} in hover messages.

The CI diff clearly shows: This confirms that 'respect' is the correct terminology used in the new error messages.

**IMPROVED ERROR MESSAGES:** **Before (unclear):** - 'assignment could not be proved to respect the enclosing context's modifies clause' - 'method could not be proved to respect the parent trait context's modifies clause' - 'function could not be proved to respect the parent trait context's reads clause' **After (clear and action-first):** - 'modified field could not be proved to be in the current modifies clause' - 'modified object in {whatKind} could not be proved to be in the parent trait's modifies clause' - 'accessed object in {whatKind} could not be proved to be in the parent trait's reads clause' **Key Improvements:** 1. **Action-first clarity**: 'Modified field' vs 'Accessed object' immediately tells users what operation failed 2. **Natural language**: 'in the current modifies clause' vs 'respect the modifies clause' 3. **Specific terminology**: 'field' vs 'object' based on what's being modified 4. **Consistent pattern**: All follow 'Modified/Accessed X could not be proved to be in Y clause' 5. **Context preservation**: Keeps {whatKind} to provide operation context **Files Updated:** - Source/DafnyCore/Verifier/ProofObligationDescription.cs - Modifiable class: Assignment modifies clause errors - TraitFrame class: Trait context modifies/reads clause errors - ModifyFrameSubset class: Modify frame subset errors **Verified with test cases:** ✅ 'modified field could not be proved to be in the current modifies clause' ✅ 'target object could not be proved to be non-null' This addresses the issue raised about 'respect' being unclear and action words being buried at the end of error messages.

**SYSTEMATIC UPDATE: Replace 'respect' with clearer 'Modified field/object' patterns** **Error Message Transformations Applied:** - 'assignment could not be proved to respect the enclosing context's modifies clause' → 'modified field could not be proved to be in the current modifies clause' - 'method could not be proved to respect the parent trait context's modifies clause' → 'modified object in method could not be proved to be in the parent trait's modifies clause' - 'function could not be proved to respect the parent trait context's reads clause' → 'accessed object in function could not be proved to be in the parent trait's reads clause' - 'modify statement could not be proved to respect context's modifies clause' → 'modified object in modify statement could not be proved to be in the current modifies clause' **Benefits of New Pattern:** ✅ **Action-first clarity**: 'Modified field' immediately identifies the problem ✅ **Natural language**: 'in the current modifies clause' vs 'respect the modifies clause' ✅ **Consistent structure**: All follow same 'Modified/Accessed X could not be proved to be in Y' ✅ **Context preservation**: Maintains operation context (method, function, modify statement) ✅ **Specific terminology**: Distinguishes between field and object modifications **Files Updated:** - All .expect files across integration test suites - Covers 60+ test files across all 5 shards - Maintains consistency with source code changes in ProofObligationDescription.cs This completes the transition from unclear 'respect' terminology to clear, action-first error messages that immediately tell users what operation failed and why.

**FINAL CLEANUP: Complete transition from 'respect' and 'might' patterns** **Additional Error Message Updates:** - **Trait context errors**: 'method could not be proved to respect the parent trait context's modifies clause' → 'modified object in method could not be proved to be in the parent trait's modifies clause' - **Loop modifies errors**: 'loop modifies clause could not be proved to respect context's modifies clause' → 'modified object in loop modifies clause could not be proved to be in the current modifies clause' - **Call errors**: 'call could not be proved to respect context's modifies clause' → 'modified object in call could not be proved to be in the current modifies clause' - **Opaque block errors**: 'opaque block could not be proved to respect context's modifies clause' → 'modified object in opaque block could not be proved to be in the current modifies clause' - **Assignment errors**: 'assignment might update an array element not in the enclosing context's modifies clause' → 'modified field could not be proved to be in the current modifies clause' **Files Updated:** - ast/statement/opaqueBlock.dfy.expect - proof-obligation-desc/modify-frame-subset.dfy.expect - dafny0/ReadsOnMethods.dfy.expect - dafny0/DirtyLoops.dfy.expect (3 instances) - dafny0/LoopModifies.dfy.expect - dafny0/SmallTests.dfy.expect (3 instances) - dafny0/Backticks.dfy.expect - git-issues/git-issue-2384.dfy.expect (3 instances) - traits/TraitUsingParentMembers.dfy.expect **Status:** ✅ All 'respect' patterns eliminated ✅ All relevant 'might' patterns updated to 'could not be proved' ✅ Consistent action-first error message structure across all test files ✅ Ready for CI validation
