+# `prusti-std` and External Specifications
+
+In the previous chapters, the code we verified included calls to functions provided by the standard library, such as `std::mem::replace`. Prusti verifies code in a *function modular* fashion, so it only considers the specification of a function in order to verify a call to it. By default, external functions are assumed to have the contract `#[requires(true)]`, `#[ensures(true)]`, i.e. it is always possible to call the function, but it does not guarantee anything.
+
+`prusti-std` is a crate that is part of the Prusti project. It provides specifications for some standard library methods. It does not provide specifications for *all* standard library methods, but the aim is to provide a high coverage of calls, based on data found in real Rust code, evaluated on the top crates of `crates.io`.
+
+The documentation of `prusti-std` provides an overview of the specified methods, as well as informal descriptions of the contracts.
+
+## Creating new external specifications
+
+When the specification for an external method is not provided (for example, because it is not in `prusti-std`), it is likely that verification of code using that method will fail. To provide the contract for an external method, an [*external specification*](../verify/external.md) should be declared.
+
+For the sake of example, assume the `std::mem::replace` method was *not* specified in `prusti-std`. We could provide an external specification for it like so:
+
+```rust,ignore
+#[extern_spec(std::mem)]
+#[ensures(snap(dest) === src)]
+#[ensures(result === old(snap(dest)))]
+fn replace<T>(dest: &mut T, src: T) -> T;
+```
+
+Let's break this snippet down step by step:
+- First, we write the Prusti annotation `#[extern_spec]` to denote that we are writing an external specification. This requires `prusti_contracts::*` to be imported first.
+- Next, we need to declare where the original function is located. In this case it is the module `std::mem`, so we put its path in the parameter: `#[extern_spec(std::mem)]`
+- After a quick search for *\"rust std mem replace\"* we can find the [documentation for std::mem::replace](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/mem/fn.replace.html). Here we can get the function signature: `pub fn replace<T>(dest: &mut T, src: T) -> T`. We then write down the signature in the inner module, followed by a `;`. The visibility modifier is omitted for external specifications.
+- Since there are no preconditions to `replace`, we can use the (implicit) default `#[requires(true)]`.
+- For writing the postcondition, we use four pieces of Prusti syntax:
+  - [`===`](../syntax.md#snapshot-equality) is called **snapshot equality** or **logical equality**. Is means that the left and right operands are structurally equal. `===` does not require the type of the compared elements to implement [PartialEq](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cmp/trait.PartialEq.html), which would be required if we used the standard equality operator `==`.
+  - The [`snap()`](../syntax.md#snap-function) function takes a snapshot of a reference. It has a similar functionality to the [`clone()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/clone/trait.Clone.html) method, but does not require the type of the reference it is called on to implement the `Clone` trait. `snap` should only be used in specifications, since it ignores the borrow checker.
+  - Lastly, we have the [`old()` function](../syntax.md#old-expressions), which denotes that we want to refer to the state of `snap(dest)` from before the function was called.
+  - The identifier [`result`](../syntax.md#result-variable) is used to refer to the return parameter of the function.
+- The postcondition consists of two parts, which can either be written in one condition with `&&`, or in multiple `#[ensures(...)]` annotations like in the example above.
+  - The first condition `snap(dest) === src` means: *After the function returns, the location referenced by `dest` is structurally equal to the parameter `src`.*
+  - The second part of the postcondition is `result === old(snap(dest))`. This means: *The `result` returned by the function is structurally equal to the the element that was referenced by `dest` **before** the function was called.*
+
+Since `result` is structurally equal to `dest` from before the function call, Prusti knows that the pure function `len()` called on `result` returns the same value as it would have for `dest`.
+
+An important thing to note here is that Prusti does ***not*** check if `replace` actually does what the external specification says it does. `#[extern_spec]` implicitly implies the `#[trusted]` annotation, which means that any postconditions are just accepted and used by Prusti.
+
+### Future
+
+There is currently new functionality planned for Prusti-assistant, which should enable the user to automatically generate the `extern_spec` declaration for a given call.

-The syntax for writing external specifications for functions associated with `Option` is slightly different to that of `std::mem::replace`, which was a standalone function.
-
-Note: In the future, you should just be able to import these external specifications using the [`prusti-std` crate](https://crates.io/crates/prusti-std). It should be available after [this PR](https://github.com/viperproject/prusti-dev/pull/1249) is merged. Until then, you can find the work in progress specifications in the PR (e.g., for [`Option::unwrap`](https://github.com/viperproject/prusti-dev/pull/1249/files#diff-bccda07f8a48357687e26408251041072c7470c188092fb58439de39974bdab5R47-R49)).

-Even though the above implementation of `push` is correct, attempting to verify it with Prusti still yields a verification error:
-
-```plain
-[Prusti: verification error] postcondition might not hold.
-```
-
-This error may look surprising at first: 
-We create a new list node that stores the the original list in its next field.
-Why is Prusti unable to realize that the length of the resulting list
-is one plus the length of the original list?
-
-The explanation is that Prusti performs *function modular* verification, 
-that is, it only uses a function's specification (instead of also consulting the 
-function's implementation) whenever it encounters a function call.
-The only exception are *pure* functions, such as `len`, where Prusti also takes the
-function body into account.
-
-
-
-### Adding external specifications to library code
-
-In our case, the function `std::mem::replace` is neither marked as `pure` nor does it
-come with a specification. Hence, Prusti assumes that it is memory safe and nothing else.
-That is, Prusti uses `true` as both pre- and postcondition of `replace`,
-which is too weak to prove the specification of `push`. According to its specification,
-`replace` could arbitrarily change the original list and thus also its length.
-Hence, we cannot conclude that the length the list returned by
-`replace(&mut self.head, Link::Empty)` coincides with the length of the original 
-list.
-
-We can remedy this issue by strengthening the specification of `replace`.
-In this tutorial, we will assume that the standard library is correct, that is, we 
-do not attempt to verify specifications for functions in external crates, 
-like `replace`. To this end, we have to add the specification to the function.
-This can be done with another piece of Prusti syntax, the [extern_spec](../verify/external.md):
-
-```rust,noplaypen
-{{#rustdoc_include ../../../../prusti-tests/tests/verify/pass/user-guide/push_property_1.rs:extern_spec}}
-```
-
-Let's break this snippet down step by step:
-- First, we write the Prusti annotation `#[extern_spec]` to denote that we are writing an external specification. This requires `prusti_contracts::*` to be imported first.
-- Next, we need to declare where the original function is located. In this case it is the module `std::mem`, so we put its path in  the parameter: `#[extern_spec(std::mem)]`
-- After a quick search for *\"rust std mem replace\"* we can find the [documentation for std::mem::replace](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/mem/fn.replace.html). Here we can get the function signature: `pub fn replace<T>(dest: &mut T, src: T) -> T`. We then write down the signature in the inner module, followed by a `;`.
-- Since there are no preconditions to `replace`, we can use the (implicit) default `#[requires(true)]`.
-- For writing the postcondition, we use four pieces of Prusti syntax:
-  - [`===`](../syntax.md#snapshot-equality) is called **snapshot equality** or **logical equality**. Is means that the left and right operands are structurally equal. `===` does not require the type of the compared elements to implement [PartialEq](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cmp/trait.PartialEq.html), which would be required if we used the standard equality operator `==`.
-  - The [`snap()`](../syntax.md#snap-function) function takes a snapshot of a reference. It has a similar functionality to the [`clone()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/clone/trait.Clone.html) method, but does not require the type of the reference it is called on to implement the `Clone` trait. `snap` should only be used in specifications, since it ignores the borrow checker.
-  - Lastly, we have the [`old()` function](../syntax.md#old-expressions), which denotes that we want to refer to the state of `snap(dest)` from before the function was called.
-  - The identifier [`result`](../syntax.md#result-variable) is used to refer to the return parameter of the function.
-- The postcondition consists of two parts, which can either be written in one condition with `&&`, or in multiple `#[ensures(...)]` annotations like in the example above.
-  - The first condition `snap(dest) === src` means: *After the function returns, the location referenced by `dest` is structurally equal to the parameter `src`*
-  - The second part of the postcondition is `result === old(snap(dest))`. This means: *The `result` returned by the function is structurally equal to the the element that was referenced by `dest` **before** the function was called.*
-
-Since `result` is structurally equal to `dest` from before the function call, Prusti knows that the pure function `len()` called on `result` returns the same value as it would have for `dest`.
-
-
-An important thing to note here is that Prusti does ***not*** check if `replace` actually does what the external specification says it does. `#[extern_spec]` implicitly implies the `#[trusted]` annotation, which means that any postconditions are just accepted and used by Prusti.
-
-### Future
+With this, the first of the three properties of `push` is verified, but we still have two more to prove.
 
-There is currently new functionality planned for Prusti-assistant, which should enable the user to automatically generate parts of the `extern_spec` syntax.
+## Note about external specifications
 
-There is also work being done for providing external specifications for the Rust standard library. Depending on when you are reading this, the `std::mem::replace` function might be annotated already, in that case this `extern_spec` may not be needed anymore.
-You can track the progress and find some already completed specifications [in this Pull Request](https://github.com/viperproject/prusti-dev/pull/1249).
+Prusti verifies the above implementation of `push`, but this might come as a surprise: the implementation calls the standard library method `std::mem::replace`. How does Prusti know what this method does? Prusti performs *function modular* verification, so calls to other methods only use that method's specifications, and never its implementation (which may not even be available, or may use unsupported features).
 
-Specifications for the standard library should eventually be available in the [prusti-std crate](https://crates.io/crates/prusti-std). Any specifications in this crate will be available by adding it to your project's dependencies.
+The answer is that the `prusti-std` crate provides specifications for *some* of the most common standard library methods, including `std::mem::replace`. In situations where `prusti-std` does not (yet) provide a suitable specification for a method used in the code, an *external specification* must be declared. Creating external specifications is discussed in the [`prusti-std` and External Specifications](extern_specs.md) chapter of this guide.
 
 ## Trusted functions
 
-As mentioned above, `extern_specs` are implicitly `#[trusted]` by Prusti.
+External specifications, like the one for `std::mem::replace` provided by `prusti-std`, are implicitly `#[trusted]` by Prusti.
