Re: [isabelle-dev] Example for global interpretation into instantiation [was: Future of permanent_interpretation]

2015-12-28 Thread Florian Haftmann
Hi Clemens,

> I didn't have time to look at your patches, and since I only have
superficial knowledge of instantiation contexts I didn't fully
understand the example either.  I guess though that the purpose of these
global interpretations is to propagate some constant declarations into
the surrounding theory.  If this is useful we should certainly have such
a command.

thanks for looking into that.

> What I still fail to understand is why you want to use 'global_interpretation'
as keyword if the command occurs directly in a theory.  This is
redundant.  I now take this as a temporary solution until there is some
better terminology for distinguishing kinds of interpretations, and I
very much hope that we will not get into another debate about renaming
'interpretation' to 'global_interpretation' or similar after the 2016
release.

I am personally very comfortable with the situation »as it is« by now
and I am convinced there is now much time to breathe before we have to
make any final decisions on that matter.

Enjoy your time,
Florian

2015-12-28 Thread Florian Haftmann
Just a casual user experience report.  In the last days I brought some
ancient patches from my queue into shape (definitely nothing for the
next release) and this involved a lot of proof tuning (sometimes also
termination issues) scattered over many theories in the distribution and
the afp.  I am working on not-so-up-to-date hardware.  It was quite
simple to carry that out – in the past there was always a risk that a
couple of non-terminating proofs would (practically) block the ui. Now I
had experienced this only once.  Very convincing!

Cheers,
Florian
