Summary

A Rocq proof covers semantic preservation, monotone improvement, convergence time and output performance for inlining.

The proof-of-concept treats compiler performance and unpredictable search time as properties worth verifying alongside semantics. It applies a cache-cost model to inline expansion rather than claiming a verified optimizer for every pass.

Why it matters

A Rocq proof covers semantic preservation, monotone improvement, convergence time and output performance for inlining.

Limits and context
