On the Completeness of Propositional Hoare Logic

Other Titles

Abstract

We investigate the completeness of Hoare Logic on the propositional level. In particular, the expressiveness requirements of Cook's proof are characterized propositionally. We give a completeness result for Propositional Hoare Logic (PHL): all relationally valid rules {b1}p1{c1}, ..., {bn}pn{cn} --------------------------- {b}p{c} are derivable in PHL, provided the propositional expressiveness conditions are met. Moreover, if the programs pi in the premises are atomic, no expressiveness assumptions are needed.
