Bitwise operations on natural numbers

In the first half of this file, we provide theorems for reasoning about natural numbers from their bitwise properties. In the second half of this file, we show properties of the bitwise operations lor, land and lxor, which are defined in core.

Main results

eq_of_test_bit_eq: two natural numbers are equal if they have equal bits at every position.
exists_most_significant_bit: if n ≠ 0, then there is some position i that contains the most significant 1-bit of n.
lt_of_test_bit: if n and m are numbers and i is a position such that the i-th bit of of n is zero, the i-th bit of m is one, and all more significant bits are equal, then n < m.

Future work

There is another way to express bitwise properties of natural number: digits 2. The two ways should be connected.

Bitwise extensionality: Two numbers agree if they agree at every bit position.

theorem nat.exists_most_significant_bit {n : ℕ} (h : n ≠ 0) :

∃ (i : ℕ), n.test_bit i = tt ∧ ∀ (j : ℕ), i < j → n.test_bit j = ff

theorem nat.lt_of_test_bit {n m : ℕ} (i : ℕ) (hn : n.test_bit i = ff) (hm : m.test_bit i = tt) (hnm : ∀ (j : ℕ), i < j → n.test_bit j = m.test_bit j) :

theorem nat.bitwise_comm {f : bool → bool → bool} (hf : ∀ (b b' : bool), f b b' = f b' b) (hf' : f ff ff = ff) (n m : ℕ) :

nat.bitwise f n m = nat.bitwise f m n

If f is a commutative operation on bools such that f ff ff = ff, then bitwise f is also commutative.

meta def nat.bitwise_assoc_tac :

tactic unit

Proving associativity of bitwise operations in general essentially boils down to a huge case distinction, so it is shorter to use this tactic instead of proving it in the general case.
