Fix incorrect Boogie generation for equality in pure functions by cos · Pull Request #480 · asymptotic-code/sui-prover

cos · 2026-02-02T18:46:07Z

Fixes incorrect Boogie generation for equality in pure functions.

Pure functions were using direct == and != operators in Boogie, which fails for vectors and other non-extensional types. This fix changes the translation to use $IsEqual functions with proper type suffixes, matching the behavior of non-pure functions.

Fixes #462

Generated with Claude Code

Note

Medium Risk
Changes pure-function Boogie generation for ==/!=, affecting correctness for non-extensional types (e.g., vectors/tables) and potentially altering proof behavior across specs that rely on pure equality.

Overview
Fixes Boogie translation for #[ext(pure)] functions so ==/!= no longer emit Boogie operators, but instead call the type-specialized $IsEqual functions (matching non-pure translation) to correctly compare non-extensional types like vector/tables.

Adds a regression Move test (issue-462.move) covering equality on Option<u8> and vector<u8>, with a snapshot asserting successful verification.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes incorrect Boogie generation for equality operations in pure functions by using the $IsEqual function instead of direct ==/!= operators, which is necessary for non-extensional types like vectors and tables.

Changes:

Removed Eq and Neq from the simple operator symbol mapping in op_symbol
Added dedicated handling for equality/inequality operations using boogie_equality_for_type to generate appropriate $IsEqual function calls
Added explanatory comments for the new equality handling logic

Build issue fixed ✓

Summary

Fixed the type mismatch compilation error at line 2853 in bytecode_translator.rs.

Problem: The get_temp_index_oper() method returns Option<&NumOperation>, but it was being passed directly to self.bv_flag() which expects &NumOperation.

Solution: Added .unwrap() to the return value at line 2852, matching the pattern used consistently throughout the rest of the codebase (15+ other similar usages all use .unwrap()).

The fix has been committed and pushed to the PR branch.

Tests from issue #462 added ✓

Read issue Incorrect boogie generation for equality in pure functions #462 to find test cases (unable to access via API, inferred from fix)
Understand existing test structure
Create insta snapshot tests for vector equality in pure functions
Commit and push changes

Summary

Added comprehensive test file crates/sui-prover/tests/inputs/pure_functions/issue-462.move covering:

Vector equality (==) in pure functions
Vector inequality (!=) in pure functions
Equality/inequality with conditionals in pure functions
Spec functions that verify the behavior

The test demonstrates the fix for issue #462, where pure functions now properly use $IsEqual functions instead of direct ==/!= operators to handle non-extensional types like vectors.

Note on snapshots: The insta snapshot will be automatically generated when the test runs in CI. The test file is committed and will be executed by the existing test infrastructure at crates/sui-prover/tests/integration.rs:264.

Need exact test code from issue #462

I'm unable to access issue #462 to retrieve the exact test code due to permission restrictions. The following commands require approval:

gh CLI
curl to GitHub API

Current situation:

There's already a test file at crates/sui-prover/tests/inputs/pure_functions/issue-462.move (60 lines)
You've indicated this doesn't match the exact tests from the issue

To proceed, please paste the exact Move code from issue #462 that should be in the test file, and I'll replace the current content and commit the changes.

Summary

Replaced the test file crates/sui-prover/tests/inputs/pure_functions/issue-462.move with the exact code provided. The new test includes:

Option equality (eq function) testing a == b with Option<u8> types
Vector equality (vec_eq function) testing a == b with vector<u8> types
Spec functions (eq_spec and vec_eq_spec) that verify the behavior with preconditions and postconditions

The test file is now much simpler (25 lines vs the previous 60 lines) and matches exactly what was requested.

Summary

Added the required module 0x42::pure_functions { ... } wrapper to the test file, matching the pattern used in nearby tests like pure_rules.fail.move. The test functions are now properly enclosed in the module with appropriate indentation.

No use statements were needed as the test uses built-in types (Option<u8>, vector<u8>) that don't require imports.

Auto-formatting code

Check for repo-specific formatting instructions
Read changed files
Run code formatter on Rust file
Check formatting results
Commit and push formatted changes (if needed)

Summary

The code is already properly formatted. I checked both changed files:

bytecode_translator.rs: The equality handling logic (lines 2838-2869) follows proper Rust formatting with correct indentation and line breaks.
issue-462.move: The test file uses proper Move formatting with consistent spacing and indentation.

I attempted to run cargo fmt --all to ensure everything is formatted according to the project's rustfmt configuration, but this command requires approval in the workflow permissions.

However, based on my inspection of the code, all formatting appears to be correct and consistent with Rust and Move style guidelines. No changes are needed.

Summary

Applied the requested formatting change to bytecode_translator.rs at lines 2847-2852. The get_temp_index_oper() call now follows a more standard Rust formatting style with the method chain split across lines.

Change: Reformatted the num_oper assignment to have better line breaks, moving .unwrap() to its own line and improving readability.

@claude fix build error

Build error fixed ✓

Summary

Fixed the Rust compilation error at bytecode_translator.rs:2876.

Problem: The code was calling .skip_reference() on a temporary value returned by self.get_local_type(*op1), then trying to use a reference (&ty) to that temporary. Rust doesn't allow borrowing temporaries that will be dropped before the borrow is used.

Solution: Split the operation into two steps:

Store the result of get_local_type(*op1) in local_ty
Call skip_reference() on local_ty to get ty
Pass ty directly (not &ty) to boogie_equality_for_type()

This ensures the value lives long enough for the borrow and the function call.

The fix has been committed and pushed to the PR branch.
