Certifying CPS Transformation of Let-polymorphic Calculus Using PHOAS

This paper formalizes the correctness of a one-pass CPS transformation for the lambda calculus extended with let-polymorphism. We prove in Agda that equality is preserved through the CPS transformation. Parameterized higher-order abstract syntax is used to represent binders both at the term level and the type level. Unlike the previous work based on denotational semantics, we use small-step operational semantics to formalize the equality. Thanks to the small-step formalization, we can establish the correctness without any hypothesis on the well-formedness of input terms. The resulting formalization is simple enough to serve as a basis for more complex CPS transformations such as selective one for a calculus with delimited control operators.
