Expand description
Interface for PCM / Resource Algebra ghost state.
RA-based ghost state is a well-established theory that is especially useful for verifying concurrent code. An introduction to the concept can be found in Iris: Monoids and Invariants as an Orthogonal Basis for Concurrent Reasoning or Iris from the ground up.
To embed the concept into Verus, we:
- Use a trait,
PCM
, to embed the well-formedness laws of a resource algebra - use a “tracked ghost” object,
Resource<P>
(this page) to represent ownership of a resource.
Most operations are fairly standard, just “translated” from the usual CSL presentation into Verus.
alloc
to allocate a resource.join
to combine two resources viaP::op
, andsplit
, its inverse.validate
to assert the validity of any held resource.update
orupdate_nondeterministic
to perform a frame-preserving update.
The interface also includes a nontrivial extension for working with shared references to resources.
Shared resources do not compose in a “separating” way via P::op
, but rather, in a “potentially overlapping” way (join_shared
). Shared resources can also be used to “help” perform frame-preserving updates, as long as they themselves do not change (update_with_shared
).
§Examples
See:
- Any of the examples in this directory
- The source code for the fractional resource library
§See also
The “storage protocol” formalism is an even more significant extension with additional capabilities for interacting with shared resources.
VerusSync provides a higher-level “swiss army knife” for building useful ghost resources.

This is useful when you have two (or more) shared resources and want to learn
that they agree, as you can combine this validate, e.g., x.join_shared(y).validate()
.

conjunct_shared(self.value(), other.value(), target),
ensuresout.loc() == self.loc(),
out.value() == target,
Sourcepub proof fn weaken<'a>(tracked &'a self, target: P) -> tracked out : &'a Self
pub proof fn weaken<'a>(tracked &'a self, target: P) -> tracked out : &'a Self
incl(target, self.value()),
ensuresout.loc() == self.loc(),
out.value() == target,
Sourcepub proof fn validate_2(tracked &mut self, tracked other: &Self)

If x · y --> x · z
is a frame-perserving update, and we have a shared reference to x
,
we can update the y
resource to z
.
